But then again dental health is important

Whirlwind trip to Ancestral Homeland is not going to happen. Just too crazy in the end to work. On the one hand, I am disappointed that the Summer of Adventure seems to be at an end. On the other, I am relieved. The trip would have left me exhausted with only a week to tie up loose prepping ends before the school year began. And while I do some of my best work when exhausted but with that happy fresh-from-adventure energy, I think in this case some of the stability I have been so intent on fighting seems to be in order. Why I cannot be a professor and tour the country with the rock-n-roll circus, though--there will never be a satisfactory enough answer to that question for me.
