::: In Exile :::

Since moving to nashville 20 months or so ago, I’ve felt some what disconnected and as my blog title states in exile, from all my forms of community that i had in houston such as family, friends, church, and work friends as most of them didn’t make it through the wreckage. I can’t say which one i missed the most because each served its own purpose and had its own place regardless of time spent in each, let’s call them worlds of my communal life. I realized even more clearly how much i missed one aspect of my life in Houston today as Carter and i convened our first saucer nashville monday night. We bonded over some cool refreshing libations and even connected with our houston brethren via text message.

you will all be pleased to know that carter has signed up for UFO membership and i have reset my card, though it is unclear whether i’ll actually follow through on the quest to be the first of the saucer diaspora to collect a 2nd plate.

It hit home today how much that community meant to me and how much it was needed. I’ve come into contact with some amazing people through those monday nights and i’m thankful for each and every one of you (and i’m not (just) referring to the beer goddesses).
Cheers!

ps.. my tolerance is not even close to where it used to be. :-/
