new chapter of life, new blog

It seemed appropriate that with so much new in my life, my re-entry into the blogosphere was best done with a new blog. So, what's new? Well, on this side of the screen, I've got a new job, in a new town (in a completely different part of the country), with a new living arrangement (renting a home here while my partner Nigel remains back in the midwest), and a new (emerging) perspective on life. All of that and more will be explored in the days to come.

A quick word about the title. Naming this blog was a hard thing to do. I tried all kinds of words and phrases and nothing seemed right. Then I thought about a lyric from James Taylor (one of my all-time favorite singer songwriters):

Singing oh, it's enough to be on your way, it's enough just to cover ground, it's enough to be moving on. Home, build it behind your eyes, carry it in your heart, safe among your own.

With all the change in my life and the strange combination of a feeling of disorientation yet finding my way back to myself that I'm experiencing, this thought seemed an appropriate title (and an encouraging reminder).

As I said, more to come, but for now, I'm off to watch the Olympics.

P.S. Winston is here with me.
