Telephone wires between Austin and Minneapolis have grown longer. My previous weeks are struggling to catch up with my present ones. The stark contrast of environments, climates, lifestyles that transformed during the stewardess supervised two hour nap left a grogginess I've yet to shake.
"You are expected to work in a tourist environment that is built for pleasure. You must find a way to make yourself effective in that peculiar limbo between work and play... live in perpetual motion. Relationships are transitory and fleeting. Friendships, even more so. Home is where you are on a given night. It is at once glamorous and pathetic, exciting and perversely routine. The longer you do it, the harder it is to return to normal life, and one day you wake up and realize that the road is your permanent address. There's no going back."- Kohnstamm
