On Friday night, I left Sol around 4AM, was in bed by 4:30 and then this happened: 2 hours of sleep, met Anna in the metro, a 10 hour flight, delays for rain and snow, a 1 hour flight, 3 hours in a car lost in Chicago with my huge suitcase on my lap, savored time with dear Nancy, 2 hours sleeping on her couch, a taxi that almost didn't show up, a taxi that sped just enough to get us to Union Station on time, a 5 hour train ride that lasted 7 hours, 5 hours of sleep sitting up in the train, meeting Anna's family and the best BLT of my life, sleeping in the car to Columbia, loving on my family, slightly surreal (due to lack of sleep) Artisan Xmas party.
Highlights: sleeping sitting up, meeting Nancy's family, talking in English, stealing a pack of cloves at the Artisan gift exchange.
Mostly I am jet-lagged and wondering what I am doing here in Missouri. Home feels weirder than I thought it would.
Tomorrow: Artisan, Lakota, Kaldi's, Main Squeeze. And then repeat.
In case you didn't know...

Do you know how much I love reading your blog? Cassidy in print is something I would like to have bound on my bookshelf, to read over and over and trace the words with my finger so that the print smudges.
