the best thing after a 60 hour train ride is most defintely a shower.  wow.  i never knew i could look so scuzzy.

so i am back in iowa, the land of humidity and corn.  i missed the corn, but not the humidity.  it's so weird, especially since i am back in ottumwa and not iowa city, it's kind of a "wtf" moment really.

i have a lot to talk about, still, but at the same time i don't know where to begin.  so i guess if anyone has any questions, that's someplace to start.  i do promise to get to work on my photos, but as i have over 500 of them AND i have to go through everything i own for a garage sale, find some work and figure out what i'm going to be doing next, i do have a lot on my plate at the moment so it'll be a little bit of slow going at first.

yep.  and it's been almost two months since i've been into a target.  three cheers for that!
