Well the final phase of the journey has begun. I could go no further west so now it’s time to return home. Time to be with the woman I love. Time to find employment. Yet, for now it’s just time to enjoy my ride across the country. Time to reflect. Time to connect with some folks I owe a call, email or post or even a letter. Time to watch the world go by. Time to see what happens over the next three and a half days of this train ride.

I am content.
