Taking some time to re-integrate. Luckily, my work load is light till next week and took that detour to Harbin. Man, yesterday was my first day back and driving into town.Mt Shasta I think of as a rural, slow paced town - but yesterday it felt like a chaotic zoo, with all those "out of towners" here for the 4th weekend, bringing their hectic ways and agressive needs to re-cre-ate... My reaction to it all caught me by surprise. Hope you are finding enough personal time to allow an integration and deepening of what got opened in you last couple weeks...
Be well, my friend.. JEO
