But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home, Sitting all alone inside your head

So I continue, in the tradition of being me, to do a lot of mental heavy lifting lately. More on that in a little bit I think.

So, yesterday my buddy Mike made the trek from Eau Claire up to the big bad cities…. Scary traffic and road work didn’t deter him! It was basically a random visit from him, which is always nice. We bummed around for the most part, hit a coffee shop, drove the chain of lakes and stopped a few times before we wandered around Lake Harriet. We originally were stopping to try and find the Elf door in a tree that is somewhere around the south edge and ended up walking the entire lake. Then there were some more of my favorite places, places that I rarely get to show to people. Then it was more talking and then he headed home. I hit up Sandy’s Tavern for dinner before buck beers and pool with a different friend. Oh and I found a dreamcast last night as well. Not sure if it works yet but its a complete system with cords and everything. So thats cool. I now have 4 controllers I guess.

Today was random cleaning and coffee with a friend to catch up on old times…. Seems that a number of the same topics keep coming up in my conversations with people and the trend continued into today. Not bad topics but they keep me thinking. Oh, and I found the elf door this afternoon as well. No wonder I haven’t seen the damn thing before, its tiny.

Work is starting to pick up, which is good as it is keeping me busier. That always helps somewhat. I am not sure how its going to interact with the holiday’s this year but as I have nothing planned for the foreseeable future (regarding holiday’s or anything else actually) it doesn’t actually matter to me. Nice that its a bit later then it was last year as I am still able to have somewhat of a life at this point… Turns out I am going to have a lot of vacation time next year, so we will see what the hell I end up doing with that.

I was told today that its not necessarily that I have been through so much of life, its that I think about it and the effects that it has had one me. I recently went and re-read some of my old posts and it is, in fact, interesting to myself to see some of the ways how I have changed over the past year. Its not stuff that effects others for the most part and I am not sure I had really realized it. All well, just keep on keeping on. I sometimes wonder if fall doesn’t make people more introspective.

So about that heavy lifting, I have been thinking a great deal lately about a number of subjects, no real surprise. Its something that has been going on for years and years now as most people know. The individual topics change from time to time of course but a lot of the generalities remain the same as they ever were. I have noticed that some of the subjects I have been thinking about have been showing up in conversations lately at others prompting which has been interesting to me. I am not sure how, exactly, that has worked out but I find it curious.

Other then that…. nothing much going on in my life. Caught an interesting program on Nat Geo tonight I guess. Could be worse. How are things with you guys? Ohhh guns ‘n’ roses…. shiny….
