On the Road Again

Strange how quickly things happen sometimes. A few weeks ago, my friends Shanti and Tony had said they may be moving to Santa Barbara, CA. I was disappointed that they would not be around anymore because we had become such good friends. Also, Shanti is the founder of the Brevard County Buddhist Fellowship and very active in the local peace movement. Her presence would be dearly missed by many. A few weeks went by and there was no definitive news but more urgent rumblings that a move may be eminent. It was during this eminent period that Shanti suggested I go with them to SoCal. Of course, I was immediately on board but I wasn't entirely sure Tony was. After all, he married Shanti but not all her friends too. Anyway, some more time passed and then this past Saturday they came into the Herb Corner to tell me that the move was for sure and I was definitely invited. Now, they also told me we would have about three weeks to complete the move. However, the very next day Tony had already hit the road because his new employer wanted him there yesterday. Okay. Later that afternoon as I was enjoying the most delicious curry chicken with my dear friends (Bonnie, Matt, and Don), I checked my messages and found one from Shanti. She tells me that we have to be out of town by Friday because of a release clause in their townhome contract. "Friday," I said very perplexed? Today is Monday and we have already sold and given away many miscellaneous items from the now infamous, "get out of town," townhouse. I have yet to inform my family, friends, or work that I must be on the road by Friday. This Friday! Funny how things happen. So, keep coming back to check out my manifested reality to see how my life goes from the East to the West, coast that is, and what new adventures I encounter along the way.
