Home again, home again, jiggety jog

Yes, we are back to being landlubbers. Our 4,200-mile drive home was long and mostly uneventful. We froze from about Gainesville on, with our two days in Destin a relatively warm stretch and with Texas being especially frigid thanks to a cold snap. California and Oregon were more temperate, but very foggy.

Back in the great northwest, we're unpacking, getting back on top of the details of real life, and suffering a certain amount of culture and climate shock. We're also kind of jet-lagged after all the time-zone changes. But I do have some things to say to wrap up this blog, percolated stories to add belatedly and reflections-in-conclusion to share. If you check back in a few days, I might have gotten caught up enough to get some writing done.
