Carolina on My Mind

Oh, let that James Taylor song play loud and long! It sure is in my mind today. Because in one week, I’ll be in North Carolina!!

Yes, it’s Home Leave time again. I don’t get back too often, so this is pretty special time indeed. After six months of Chinese language and crazy highway motoring, I’m glad to be going back to the Western World for a few weeks. Oh how sweet it is Baby James!

First stop is (hopefully), the NC State vs. UNC football game at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh next Saturday. Then it is a few days in High Point area on business, before I head to Minneapolis to check out new Decca Contract offices. Then it’s off to Colorado for family time in the Rockies, before returning for Thanksgiving week in North Carolina.

Throw another shoulder of pork on the coals! Pour in that rich red vinegar sauce. I’m home for BBQ soon!

Home

It’s summer! Temperature is rising. Storms strike daily. The humidity is going UP, UP, UP. Umbrellas are popping everywhere. Lychee is in season. And I don't care! I’m GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it’s finally back to the USA. It’s been six long months. Someone asked me if my eyes are slanted now. I don’t think so, but I can sure use chopsticks better now!
