Gettin' Back to My Cactus Roots--Tucson, AZ - May 22nd, 2008

It's my brother's birthday tomorrow. I may actually get to see him this weekend, which would be awesome. He has been enjoying Washington D.C., but I think he is still way homesick for AZ. I told him the first year is the hardest and that you don't really settle in until after two years. I don't know if it is encouraging to tell him that or not, but I am trying to be honest.

I have to go up to Scottsdale for traffic school this weekend, which sucks ass. Scottsdale is one of the few Arizona cities that doesn't let you take traffic school on line, which I find to be a rather archaic policy in this day and age. It's at 730am on Sunday morning. I plan on bringing lots of coffee. And a stick for self-flagellation.

We are having unseasonably cool weather today, which is just fine with me. Anything unseasonable in the Arizona summer can only mean more sanity for me.

Off to do stuff.

Cheers.
