So the plan is to leave on Friday or Saturday for New Jersey to help with the Sandy cleanup and get my life on track; not The Track, just a tract. I want to head out on a trajectory that is financially and physically (healthy) productive and sustainable. I still feel emotionally like I am waiting for a train. I'm packed, I have a destination, but the future is largely unknown.
Others that are close to me are also in transition. My son is applying to college and starting to make decisions that will shape his adult life. My 30 year old nephew is on a literal and figurative journey as well. He is struggling with substance abuse, but more fundamentally with the foundations of manhood. How do you make a living? How do you make a life and not just have one happen to you. I have invited him to post here as he takes to the road. He is making his way south out of North Carolina, with an idea to go to Savanna, Georgia and then on to Florida. How do you know when you are running away or running to?
