another two years, another trip to NJ. visiting with my family helps me get some prespective, and i get to sit on the beach and body surf all day. fly kites, play with the kids, build sandcastles, turn the brain off. finish a few books. eat until you explode. everytime i get there i’m amazed at how easily i slip back into talking with everyone, like we never left. it is nice to be back where the heat and humidity aren’t debilitating though. heather came out as well, for the first time to meet everyone, and she fit in prefectly, like i knew she would. i don’t think i would have brought her otherwise. the blessings never cease.
