I am preparing to travel to Salt Lake City this Saturday...going to be there for about a week. I dread that state... having spent a good number of my formative years struggling under the religiously oppressive mind fucking that goes on there. It still creeps me out. Though, I hear that SLC is more progressive these days. I am even having good luck tracking down vegetarian places. The weather seems like it is going to be nice, which means that I am going to ride the motorcycle. I am very excited about that.

I am going with my brother and the reason we are going is that about 3 weeks ago, he was contacted for the first time by the daughter that he had to give up for adoption at birth 15 years ago. He has spent the time since getting to know her and we arrange to go down and meet her for the first time. I know that he is a little nervous, but very excited. She seems like a very cool young woman. I am excited to meet her.

I have decided to ride the motorcycle there. I am really struggling with some things internally and I am hoping that the 11 hour drive will be the space I need to sort through it without external distractions (other than driving of course). Riding can be a form of meditation where your mind quiets and things can kinda sort themselves out in that space. I hope so at least. I have not been a happy camper of late.
