The return

Nothing I've done in recent years has been as humbling as toting my worldly possessions in garbage bags for the past few days.

This odd odyssey is nearing its end, at least for now. My wife and our older spawn had a set-to with the in-laws last night and, two-and-a-half hours later, reached détente.

We'll be back there tonight.

Life doesn't come with instructions or guarantees, but it really doesn't need to be this complicated.
