We don't wanna go.

We don’t wanna go. We don’t wanna go.

There isn’t an easy solution to the problem though. We’ve loved being here through April. We’d love to stay through the end of May. If we stayed through the end of May we’d probably want to stay through the end of June. It doesn’t matter how long you stay, at some point you have to leave.

The reason for the leaving this time is to head west to the annual accounting conference we always go to. This year it is in Las Vegas. After that, we’ll work our way back east and end up in Colorado in early June for the Aspen Center for Physics job. After that we can head over to the front-range to spend some time with the kids and grandkids.

For years we’ve been saying we live on the road. We roam from town to town. We’re citizens of the universe. Now, as we’re leaving, we recognize that we live here now. Gulf Waters on Mustang Island is where we live. We take trips to other places and return to Gulf Waters.

This will be an extended trip. We expect to be gone from here about five months.
