New Year's Day, Joel

I'm home and ready to unpa...no, wait...hold on...
When I arrived back from Africa almost two months ago, I thought, YES!! It's been fun, but I'm finally done with planes, buses, cabs, layovers, backpacks, dirty drinking water, sleeping bags, mosquitoes, group living, poor communication, packing, ...

It ain't over even when it's over
