By the Numbers

Ahh, it is sooooo good to be home again. I was only gone for two days but these two days, because it was a road trip in the truest sense of the phrase, made it seem like I was gone for more than just two days. I accomplished what I needed to accomplish in the visited locations. I feel good about that but I have to say, as I click my heels together, there's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
