On the Road Again ...

At the moment, I'm a month shy of a year of blogging now.

It seems rather fitting that the blog will hit the year mark just as we head off to Sri Lanka on a two-month vacation. Have we been rather homebound during the last eleven months? Compared to previous years, I thought that we'd not done very much time away from this apartment. Then, I realized it'd be easy to count up the nights spent at friends' or in hotels by looking back at these blog entries. Documenting life has its advantages. Here's a rundown:

[OLDER SEARCH FACILITY ABANDONED.]

September 2003 - Road Trip to Sicamous, BC - 2 nights

October 2003 - Flew to San Francisco, CA - 4 nights

December 2003 - Bus Trip to Calgary, AB - 4 nights

February 2004 - Road / Ferry Trip to Victoria, BC - 3 nights

April 2004 - Road Trips to Port Angeles / Grand Coulee Dam, WA - 3 nights

May 2004 - Drive to Stay w/ Friends in Seattle, WA - 1 night

I guess I was fooled by the close proximity of all of these times away. Seventeen nights is not much by our usual standards, but it is more than the benchmark by which many unfortunate, workaholic folks choose to live.
