Changes

There are changes coming for me. I’ve withheld saying anything until now. I’ll be leaving town this Friday for about 3 months of work in India and Singapore.

I’ve not wanted to openly advertise because I’m still deep in preparation for the trip. I’ve done similar things in the past when I did archeology. I left once for months, traveled all the way up to Montana or Wyoming and then returned through Las Vegas. Hiked one time from Barstow all the way to Vegas. Spent a few months in Needles, California out by the Colorado River. There was a  town I still remember there called cal-nev-ari. An unusual place to be sure. I met a hard rock geologist there who was walking down the road after doing some work elsewhere. I stopped in my rental car and asked him if he needed a ride to Needles. He had this grizzled scientific look, sparkling blue eyes. He smiled and we rode together. We talked geology, archeology, and meeting points. We ended up drinking beer together in Needles. I digress though.

This trip will commence on Friday and then I’ll be gone for some bit of time. I’ll be summering in Chennai and taking a few holidays here and there. I’ll be back but be blogging still from points over there. I’m very excited at this trip and the potential to do a thing I used to do which was travel and live in places. Thanks to the best job, boss,  and co-workers in the world for making this happen.
