I’ve been trying to think of a way to sum this whole thing up, some way to put it all so quaintly and nicely. Maybe something philosophical - my own Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or some crap like that.

But the only thing I can think is “it’s over.”

And that can be taken in a few ways. Neither way is so cut and dry. While there’s the “thank god it’s over” mental faction, there’s also the “I’m sorry to see that it’s over” bits. And neither make a whole lot of sense.

By the time I rode through Columbus into Wheeling, I was tired. I was physically and mentally exhausted. Being at the farm certainly rejuvenated me a bit, but the ride back to Pennsylvania and the bad luck on the day after through me back into full exhaustion mode.

I feel bad, since I’ve been back I’ve not seen too many people and have been really crappy at keeping in contact (on the road, I was regulated and very good at it). I don’t know if that’s part of the exhaustion or just part of not being really all that regulated. Maybe a bit of both.

So what are my future plans?

For now, I’m living in Central Pennsylvania for the rest of the summer. While here, I plan on riding a lot, seeing some movies, visiting some friends, visiting New Vrndavana, selling some stuff (car, some books, some shelves) and basically getting ready to move to Seattle.

I had planned on a trip to New England. That is officially uncertain. I just don’t know if I have the money. I’m trying to not let the exhaustion be a factor, but it is. Though money is a bigger issue.

Well, I guess that’s about it. I made it. Thanks to everyone who read along. I’m sorry that I don’t have much more to say. I’ll be resuming my regular blog shortly.

The only thing left is for Harley and Annabelle to sing us on out…
