We're off to a conference about climate change in just a few minutes. You know, do that thing and be fabulous and change the world.

I've been looking into so many different things to do when I leave. One of the things that's caught my eye is working for one of the camps in the national parks that works with disadvantaged urban youth.

I'm not really sure what it is that I want to do anymore, but I don't want to keep blindly going down the business path. I need to take stock and think about what really matters. How to take the inner-idealist and merge that with some part of me that's a bit more practical. In other words, I want to figure out something awesome that's going to rock the socks of the world.


When Vish and I were outside the other night taking a break from the craziness inside the bar, two kids stopped and were talking to us. One was actually a member of @DIT back in the day, when I'd suggested that maybe he take his traveling in a more structured way and do something to engage and better the societies he's visiting.

But it just hit how much I do miss the greenness of everything. No free days (this means Sunday afternoon) for a while that have been nice enough to head out of the city to somewhere with a considerable amount of greenness.

I do want to be in the States for the summer. I want to visit a few of the national parks, see things I haven't seen before and appreciate the backdrop of our history. I also want to take a trip through the dirty south and terrify myself with oodles of cultural shock within our borders. I'm not sure who I'll manage to drag with me on this one, but it will be a blast--of that I'm sure.

Shocked by the dirty south?

We don't hang people. We do cook nice.

Be ready for lots of flannel shirts and guns, beer, and freedom running around all over the place.
Cheers.
