62 more days until I take Aidan to Texas. A lot to do in that time. I'm going to the DMV on Wednesday to finish the paperwork to get the title on my old car so I can donate it charity. I need to get rid of a lot of the stuff Aidan has in his room. I need a towing package on my Jeep. I need to get the house more or less cleaned out for when I move... Going to be a hectic time...

I need a vacation. I've never really had one. I'm not talking about the take a few days off from work and sit around the house kind. I'm talking about the kind where I'm on the other side of the planet, out of cell phone range, hold all my calls, relax on the beach with a drink in my hand for several days kind of vacation...

I'm looking forward to doing a remote tour after this...I know I'll be away from Aidan for a long time, but it will give me time to do things for myself, and then hopefully I'll end up in Europe again and he'll come live with me...

I don't think the DC area is for me...the people are fake, the air is bad, and the traffic is horrible. The job market here is good, but I don't know if that's enough... I liked the people I saw when I went to Detroit. I was waiting in a bar for my friend and I just people-watched for a while. These people seemed genuine. No hidden agenda's, just a sort of built-to-last toughness about them...it was very refreshing to see normal people...

I've committed myself to helping get Bush Jr. out of office. I'm not suppose to talk about the commander-in-chief, but you know what...Fuck Bush! He's lied about more things than I can remember, he's ruined the economy, he's made the world hate us...Fuck him and Rumsfeld, and Cheney and all the rest of them...I've never paid much attention to politics, but lately it just seems like everywhere I look I can see examples of where he has directly impacted the life of someone I know...there is a good chance he'll still win, but not because of my vote...

I'm waiting for Aidan to go to sleep, then I'm going to download some songs, and play my guitar....

Have a good one...
Tim
