As I mentioned in my photo post all of about 30 minutes ago, a good friend of mine recently wrapped up a motorcycle trip thru British Columbia. He wrote about it. He closed his “ride journal” with some very good prose that anyone, who has closed one chapter in their lives and is starting another, can relate.

… the trip was tempered by the fact that it’s a coda for me – a bookmark slid between two chapters of my life. When I started out, I had just “retired” from the broadcasting industry. Now, I begin a new life in the sensing and data industry. For me, it’s a little weird. I’m excited about the new job, but after a long time in broadcasting, I’m feeling like I’m in over my head a little bit with this new gig. I know I can do it, and I know it’ll be a great thing for my future, but right now, today, as I sit here between careers, ready to turn that next page, I feel a little disjointed, a little foggy and a little sad.
Thanks, as always, for reading. – Source: MisterEd’s dot.com page

I’m currently “stuck” in between chapters. I still have a few edits to make in the previous one and it’s holding me back from really settling down to the Underwood for the next. It was to be a clean break. Life is seldom what we expect. That’s OK. As I learned back in college, they’re all just “character building exercises”.
