Thanks

Many many thanks to the people who gave one or more
(sometimes many) of the following:

• a meal,
  
• a ride,
  
• a place to stay

It would have been impossible without you.

I don't have a good picture of Carolyn or Danielle, but hopefully soon.

I've missed this place.

During the next couple weeks, I'll put about 50 of my pictures into an e-album. If you want me to share it with you, let me know. I would be happy to.

In about a month, I'll have my own computer, so I can edit the footage that Michael and I shot in Denmark. Until then, I'll be revising a lot of the stories I wrote in Norway.

I'll post the video to this blog when it's finished, and if you want to read what I'm writing, just let me know. It's mostly about my experiences with doubting religion.

For the next 3-and-a-half months, I'll be in and around East Texas, spending much of my time on a farm in the Piney Woods region.

I feel free

It's good to be back in the States.

Mitchell and Haley (and friends) picked me up at the airport.

We drove to New Hampshire and sang songs and laughed and hugged together.
And hiked and hung out in the mountains.
And then I went to New York.
Right now I'm in Manhattan, hanging out with Danielle and Kim, who I haven't seen in a really really long time. The last time I saw them, we were all in California, at a school that they don't go to anymore.

Last night when the sun went down, I still hadn't confirmed a place to stay. Then Johnny came through for me, as always. Thank you Johnny.

I really love New York, and I am really wondering what it will be like to be in Texas tomorrow. I feel it will be the same, but different, and I am looking forward to both parts of being home.
