The Way of the Way

Matt aka @loungecreature here. We’ve reached our destination of Arlington, VA, and I’ll be flying home to Phoenix later this afternoon. This trip was well timed for me to get away from everything–literally–and find a bit of clarity with some occasional haziness mixed in. It was great to renew and deepen my friendship with Rodney, learning where he came from and where he’s going. I also made a new friend and found a comedy writing partner in Clark, a man of great forbearance and good humor.

I also learned a lot about our country in seeing parts of it I had never visited. I saw economic hardship in Cleveland and appreciated for the first time how this country can feed the world as we drove for days through just a small part of the farm fields I usually fly over while reading a book. I’m glad I came.
