a new morning

This morning I woke up early to go for a bike ride. I took the bike off the car and strapped on my helmet. I started down this small highway and I can quickly tell from the weight of the air that I'm non longer in Boston - I'm much farther south. This morning reminds me of the summer days in Missouri - warm and humid, so humid you just stand in the sun and start sweating. I feel comfortable though in this humidity, I think to myself as I continue to ride.

Boston was good for a time but now it's time for a new sunrise. Suffolk, Virginia is where Kate's parents just recently moved and staying with them is significantly cheaper than rent in Boston. This short time while we get our feet under ourselves is a better step for this transition rather than struggling to keep our heads above water in Boston. It's a great city - nice organic food selection - but maybe a little too big and not super accepting.

We'll see what southern comfort is all about in the months to come. So far it's looking like the harvest is coming in great.
