i leave yellowstone tomorrow.  my summer in wonderland is over, and i'm saying goodbye for quite a while i think.  the next time i'm in yellowstone, i want to be a traveler instead of a xanTerrorist, and i want to backpack into the interior and climb electric peak and sit down and drink coffee in a restaurant instead of serving it.  dream big.

i'm embarking on a little roadtrip tomorrow, and in just three days i'll be sitting on sister's couch in southern illinois, drinking wine and petting the nephew cat.  and then minneapolis.  and then puerto rico. 

tomorrow my life is starting all over again.  again.
