Traveling Tails

The thing about a job that requires travel is that IT ALWAYS REQUIRES TRAVEL. I am currently home one week and then leave the next. This past week has been a home week but tomorrow it is Phoenix and then onto Northern Cal. Only the wife has been planning what appears to shaping up to be the mother of all parties for tonight - for my birthday.

So here I am on my "birthday" (the actual date is Tuesday - when I will be in AZ) packing a weeks worth of clothes just before people start showing up at our house.

It feels odd to be packing to leave at the same time that you are prepping to welcome people to your home. I'm not crying in my beer here - it's not a bad thing - or a good thing. But it does feel like a weird thing . . .
