Going back... not anymore :-(

I made a last minute trip back to the Classic City yesterday with RRB. The purpose of the trip was to help ‘The Diver’ get moved into his dorm. But, it turned out to be much more.

----The “new” dorms at the East Campus complex are not dorms at all, so don’t consider yourself dorming if you live there.----

It occurred to RRB and I that this is going to be the hardest part of moving on with our lives. We have always left Athens for the summer to pursue some various employment or travel opportunity. However, when the summer concluded, we always made it back to Athens and into our comfort zone. This summer has been no different. I have worked, traveled, made money, etc. However, now that the summer is concluding, I do not have the option of going back to my comfort zone. Instead, I am trying to figure out what is next. It is time to grow up. But, I don’t wanna.
As I left town last night, the site of ‘the group I used to be apart of’ rehearsing out on the IM fields was very appropriate. Without me.
I miss those guys (and gals). I miss watching them get into trouble and try to dig there way out and save face. I don’t really miss the activity (yet), but I do miss the people and the camaraderie. The site of that group moving on without me was a needed reminder that the world will move on now that I have moved on to something new – Something better? – Something different! – SOMETHING!
