Suckers n' stuff
Just over a month ago, we were in Iowa. It was before the floods, and looking at the number of road closures I’m not really happy to go back just now. It’s hard to get any sort of traction because I have spent most of this year away from home. What starts as adventure can end up as tedium, if you overdose on it bad enough.
But Tom Waits does not tour frequently, and it seems worth it to brave the waters of Iowa to get to the Brady Theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Besides, there are unfinished family visits and the hope that maybe for a time life can be reasonably drama-free. Except for Tom, of course.
It’s been a glitter and doom kind of year.

A good time to be home
It seems as if we really timed our arrival back in the Twin Cities just right. Too bad we're too exhausted to enjoy it that much.

Home at last. Thirty days or so, and 7,000 miles on the road. Whew.
