7,884 miles and 7 weeks later

I made it back to Berkeley (photo proof at left, if there was any doubt).... in one piece for the most part. I will share more deeply as I continue to untangle the fluttered pattern of this summer's outstanding gifts from the giddy-up thud in a re-landing. In other words, a closing paragraph..... that ooooh-no of the college essay. I will be accepting applications for various titles. Prize options will be subject to my approval and mood at the time, not to mention legal, financial and moral applicability.
