Home at last. Yes, as of Saturday evening I was officially home. I still don't feel quite home, as my body is still trying to adjust to not driving down rough roads, endless stretches of highway, or cabling up/provisioning our new systems.
I really wish I would've had the camera handy for the surprised look that I received when I announced my homecoming to Julie. Truly "shock and awe", or sheer befuddlement. I think my phone calls to her earlier in the day made the difference, especially telling her that we were heading south to fix some problems. I know, it is a terrible thing to do this trickery, but I think the surprise was worth it for both of us. I missed Julie dearly, and she missed me equally. It is a nice feeling to be missed like that.
So I am spending my first couple of days back reading notes of our trip, laying out my yards of receipts for expense reporting, and generally trying to unwind from the trip. 14 days, 3,555 miles, plenty of extra hours of work, and too many sleepless nights in motel rooms to remember. Not a rough life by any stretch, however it sure wore me out.

Enough of the bachelor life, huh? I suppose it gets old being on the road. Although the stay in Vegas sounded like a mighty fine resting place. I could go for lounging in the ol' terry cloth anytime. and a jet tub... yep, that'd work for me.
