Landing. Again.

Well. I am back home after ten days of not being. And I wish I had something profound to share with you – but really, I am just re-orienting myself. There is something about Ottawa that drives the writer right out of me. Perhaps it’s just that I find it difficult to write in hotel rooms, or that I am otherwise mentally occupied when there – but my output goes way down the minute I arrive.

Towards the end of my time in Ottawa I found myself getting a little bit angsty and discouraged about things in general. I am definitely feeling the unkind words of others more than normal – all of which bubbled to the surface during and shortly after the convention/election of last weekend. Really I just need to go back to my “real job” for a couple of weeks which is oh so much easier on my psyche.

But really, I am happy to be home, awaiting Brian’s visit this afternoon – a cozy and secure corner of the world.

More shortly, I’ve got stuff to say as soon as I take care of some things..
