Rain and gray skies greeted my departure from Columbia. I elected to leave early again. I lacked purpose for staying around. Sitting around and watching TV all night just doesn’t help motivate you to stick around. I worked some more on my writing, just trying to keep myself floating above all the work.
The roads were [...]
