Gregory our brother packed everything he owns (almost) in a car and trailer and took off to the happy sunny skies of Florida. Many people in Ohio will miss him. Some will not understand how somebody could do such a thing. Such a radical change in your life. When I talked to him on the phone he said, I\u2019m not gonna live much longer so I am inspired by that.
\nChange is the new god in America. Change was the name of our new presidents campaign. Change is the only place you can go from here.
\nFor the first time in three weeks I went back to New York. I realized that I didnt miss it like I thought I did. Screaming fire engines surrounded Port Authority Bus Terminal and firemen with full gear including oxygen tanks were everywhere. I didn\u2019t care. Nobody did. Nothing has changed there. It is just a typical day in NYC when sirens are blaring in your ears at every intersection.
\nI watched a fire truck stuck in traffic. Just sitting there; lights flashing, horn blasting, siren wailing and nobody could move out of the way for him. The scene was something I did stop and watch because it was such a contrast. What should have been a speeding, loud emergency vehicle was just sitting there. Kinda reminded me of my marriage 8 years ago loud, roaring, scary and going nowhere.
\nChange is in the air. Buckets of pussy willows and Spring flowers being sold on the streets. Change is the new god so get on yer knees and say dear god please change me
\nI envy Greg. To just get up and leave. Nothing, nobody to tie him down. Now that is a free spirit. See ya later!
\nChange can be frightening. A new job. New people to figure out . Oh you live where? I don\u2019t know where I will end up. There is allot of change coming.
\nThere is something magical about riding around with all your possessions in your car. Homeless (technically) ever since I signed over everything to the boys. Things never worked out like I thought but many things did. The most important things anyway. My boys have warmth, shelter, food and a reasonable amount of security. To me that is all that matters. That is the selfish part of you that DIES when you hold your own flesh and blood in your arms.
\nThe first time you try anything in life you are usually scared. But afterwards you say, Hell that wasnt so bad, now was it?
\nActually it turns out to be just another loop in the rollercoaster.
\nScary. Exhilarating. Unexpected.
\nAnd pretty damn cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
