And so it begins
The time has come. A new chapter in my life has started. To mark the turn of the page, I went bald. Here are the before, during, and after pics. It’s true. Shaving the hair makes you feel naked. My head is more delicate than my inner thigh. Everytime the wind blows, I feel like someone is prodding me with a feather probe. But on the upside, no one will want to mess with me, which means I don’t need to buy a Rambo knife for protection. When I get to the Midwest, people will think I’m the first inducted neo-Nazi Asian skinhead.
My trip was delayed by several days due to last minute logistical measures and unforseen events. I finally have all the bare necessities that I need to start the trip, including some duct tape, in case my hood flies off.
This will be my living room, dining room, bedroom, and transport during the trip. It is too bad that the only ones I will be entertaining are the likes of Thoreau and Covey.
The official trip begins today, where I will ride into the sunset for Death Valley. Goodbye forever?
it and get the word out!
Ah! You have the route markers nicely sorted now. I’ll leave you with a Buechner quote. Take care on your journey and God bless you, Andrew.
Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.
Greetings from Cali Girl,I just got your email out of my junk box! I might add that your blog is not junk in the trunk! Let me first tell you that I already miss seeing you and your humor! I am so impressed by your leap of faith. I will keep you in my prayers each day that the Lord will guide you and keep you safe. I missed seeing you off or did you miss coming to TM meeting? At any rate, be safe and I look forward to reading about your adventures. I had a good laugh today when I read about you going bald…………WOW, not only are you naked but you’ll have to wear a beanie to keep warm at nite. Ciao my friend.
You look like Nick now! lol…j/k!
