From Whence I Came

The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
-Joni Mitchell

Thanks to all the folks who fed and housed me:

Mum, Seester, Kev and Heather. Pat and Laura, Mike and Mima, Jim and Lisa, Tripp and Christa, Bryan and Rebecca. I was also down the shore with Mel and at the Rage in VT, so i stayed in 10 different places.

I'm exhausted. I need a vacation from my vacation.

Lately it occurs to me
what a long, strange trip its been.
