i haven't been in the states in almost a year. i left just before 2005 actually rolled in.
people in the past week or two have been noticing that i'm more animated and relaxed and comfortable and excited. there are many reasons for that.
this trip home really has the pretext of business. sure, i'll be seeing more long-time friends than i think i ever have on this return journey. that makes me happy and excited. another thing, obviously, is my family - some of whom i haven't seen for a similar time period. yet another thing is that i'm really, truly, deeply excited and ecstatic that i actually have a solid goal to aim for in the near future - starting the business with my czech partner.
that said, i'm looking forward to seeing many of the people who read this blog. which brings me to my schedule: if i haven't contacted you about getting together, then i'm stupid, but you should get in touch...
here it is:
Nov. 21st-Nov. 30th: Minneapolis-St. Paul area
Nov. 30th-Dec. 11th: Bloomington, IN area
Dec. 11th-Dec. 18th: San Jose, San Francisco and Los Angeles areas
Dec. 18th-Dec. 23rd: Bloomington, IN area
Dec. 23rd-Dec. 27th: WI shoreline w/ family
Dec. 27th-Dec. 28th: MSP area
Dec. 28th-Jan. 1st: Chicago area
Jan. 1st-Jan. 6th: Bloomington, IN area
Jan. 7th-Jan. 11th: MSP area
the only anomaly is the Chicago trip. it might be condensed, with the additional days probably swinging to the MSP area before New Year's.
so, if i haven't been in touch, i should've and i apologize. drop me a line, foo'!
