love in the hood


love in the hood

At the beginning of both November and December I was away on business for what seemed like a significant amount of time away. Particularly in November when I was in Colorado for nearly 10 days. At one point in my life I called it home... but hadn't done so for many years: as I feel more like I "grew up" in Seattle and had come to call that home. Towards the end of my visit I was really missing what has become home now - Pittsburgh, PA and my family and friends here.

Talking with my dad last night about home, and what that means to each of us... I realized I really do feel so at home in Pittsburgh. I'm not sure what that's about, but it is true. I've spoken on this blog before about how this place reminds me of various aspects of my life and maybe that's why it's been so easy for me to settle in here.

Regardless, after having gone away during such a hectic time of year... I am so glad I get to come home to here!

returning to the sea


It's been awhile since I've seen the Pacific. It was a magical site. I've missed the cycle of the tides.
