A hundred thoughts, ten seconds to write

Vacation was nice. We spent a lot of time traveling and saw some truly hideous road accidents (none of which I caused, for a change). We saw people we knew, and places we'd both been.

In "Grosse Point Blank," John Cusack goes home to Michigan, to discover that his childhood home has been turned into a mini-mart. An assassin follows him there, they shoot it out in the mini-mart, and wind up destroying it. He calls his therapist and says, "You were right - you can't go home again. But you can shop there."

John's right. There was nothing there for me, when I went back. It was interesting to see how it had changed. But it didn't matter. There's nothing there, no one there. Empty, soulless. But it was interesting to see.

Now I'm home, working on renovation projects. We've done so much in so little time. I have another week of vacation. We'll see what I get done by then!
