The one where I am like Costello

I'm a b-a-a-a-d boy. And, like Chuck Berry and MC5, I'm back in the USA.

Hey, I'm home! I just neglected to tell you that...

I'll write lots more about the trip (and more) in the near future. In the meantime, in no particular order (well, a particular order, just not the one in which I'll do the stuff), here's some of the stuff on my to-do list:

  • buy a car
  • buy a mounting bracket for my bike lock
  • calculate some travel statistics
  • create a map of the places I've been
  • decide how to support myself
  • emails to people I knew before
  • emails to people I met
  • frame some pictures and posters
  • gather the stuff people brought home from Australia for me
  • get a cat
  • get Colleen to make me dinnerware
  • get estimates for a new bathroom
  • give loads of stuff to Goodwill
  • have a Welcome Home/Housewarming party
  • help Dave and Charlie make a turducken
  • learn to make tom yum, dolamades and more
  • meet Allison Joy, Bart, Bella, Echo, Henry, Kristina Jr, Leo, Peter
  • name my last ~500 pictures
  • play for Surly
  • replace the pot I ruined
  • run a 60-90-60-90-60-90-60-90-60-90-60-90-60-90-60-90-60-90-60-90
  • spend more time with 3 Ys
  • tell you why you should never fly Olympic Airlines
  • track down the $840 Olympic Airlines owes me
  • work on my house
  • write a resume
  • write about Athens, Istanbul, Meteora, New York, Santorini

Sorry about the lack of entries, and thanks to those of you who prodded me to get moving. I'll keep working on this stuff, and if you wanna help, or want my help, or just wanna say hi, give me a call. We can hang out--I'm pretty much free any time!

ta,
sg

welcome home!
It's already nice to have you back and I haven't even seen you.
But hey, I made your to-do list, wow, I'm honored.
Come down and visit soon. It's quiet down here right now.
