WILLIAMS, Ariz.<\/strong> — One of the more remarkable discoveries I have made on this journey I decided to take out west has kinda caught me by surprise.<\/p>\n

It is that I do not miss keeping up with those political matters that seem to drive many Americans damn near to the nut house.<\/p>\n

Ohhh, no.<\/em> Most of my conscious thoughts these days involve my bride, who I lost to cancer this past month. Indeed, I think of her practically every waking minute of every day. But … I also seek to fill my days on this westward trek with sights I am seeing, those I have seen and those I will see.<\/p>\n

Those of you who read this blog know that I have not forsaken all political commentary of late. I like to weigh in when events merit commentary on this venue. So, I do.<\/p>\n

However, I do not look<\/em> for topics on which to bloviate. If they present themselves, fine. I’ll weigh in.<\/p>\n

My time instead is spent looking for joyous sights to see and looking forward to seeing more family and friends along the way.<\/p>\n

I’ve only logged about 1,500 or so miles on the truck on this trip. I figure this journey could exceed 6,000 miles by the time I roll into my driveway in Collin County. Almost all of those miles and all that time will be spent enjoying the here and now.<\/p>\n

Yes, Kathy Anne never is far from my thoughts and my heart. I am beginning to appreciate better the notion that (a) she would want<\/em> me to enjoy myself and (b) she’s with me every step of the way.<\/em><\/p>\n

You know what? I am beginning to draw comfort from it.<\/p>\n
