I've had a feeling growing inside of me for quite a while, and I think it's reached the point where it's grown large enough so that I can no longer ignore it: I'm tired of maintaining this blag, and taking the time during my travels to find a computer, sit down, gather my thoughts, and fiddle with technologies. It's been a great joy to get some of my thoughts and experiences down in words for others to share, but what should be a fun and light-hearted endeavour is coming to feel like more and more of a chore for me. I think this struggle is reflected in my writing, both in quantity and quality, and in earnest, I'd rather just not write than do it so half-heartedly. Thanks for tagging along with me thus far, and I'm sure there will be more stories shared here at some point (like when I'm finished with this trip, and am back in front of my own computer with time to spare). Until then, I'm signing off for a spell.
(A brief update: I made it to San Francisco yesterday, after a pleasant, scenic, and sunny-but-not-too-hot few days down Highway 1. I'm staying here with my friend Alan, who is working on a postdoc at Stanford (I previously visited him during another bike trip through Providence in 2009, where he showed me how to dissect fruit flies.) I've never been to San Francisco before (except for a brief high-school band trip that really doesn't count), so I'm planning on taking some time to explore the city before continuing on.)
Much love to all,
Scott
