Back From the Long Trip

I got to see Colorado...for half a day.
 
Ah, it's good to be home.

About Midnight this morning, my brother Matt and I returned from our long trip back to Florida from Colorado Springs. Thirty-three hours. Pretty hard to do when you're functioning on less than three hours of sleep. Allow me to explain:

As I entered the house, Matt gave me the ol' tour. I saw all the rooms (three bachelors living in the same house) and everything. It was certainly spacious. And then, I saw the bed I was supposed to sleep in that night. Now, I am a pretty big germophobe and so that certainly accounts for a lot of my outlook on things, but this bed had wadded up sheets (used sheets) from what looked like months ago.

They hadn't even changed the sheets.

I asked, "How long have these sheets been on that bed?"

"Dude, I don't know," he said. Then, laughing, he added, "Probably a long time!"

That was it. I wasn't sleeping there. I'll just sleep on the couch, I guess.

No blankets or anything in the house. I was freezing all night. Finally, I got a T-Shirt out of my bag and covered my legs with it. Pretty sad.

Hard to believe people live that way.

But, nevertheless, it's good to be back. Sorry no pictures. I left my digital camera at home so my wife could take pictures of our daughter. That was more important. Colorado Springs was beautiful, though. I loved the atmosphere there.

Maybe I'll take some photos of Florida and post those. For those of you who don't live in Florida.
