The News: Tuesday, July 9 Edition

So here’s a thing that didn’t occur to me until way too late. This trip I stayed a week longer than I normally do, because I could. Which worked out wonderfully as far as acclimating to the time and altitude change as well as in general being comfortable. And then last night as the kids were going to bed it happened. Tears, clinging, asking me when the next time is I’ll be coming home, and in general breaking my heart. Leaving people you love really, truly just blows.
