the first of dos mil ocho

well back in spain now. the following sessions should fill in what that means exactly but first, goodbye 2k7, hello 2k8. don't worry, no resolutions here.

i suppose i should go back to late november, early december when a series of events led to me getting a ticket to Oregon to spend Christmas with my family... A lot of airmiles were put to use to avoid spending the extortionate holiday rates. and i found myself in the northwest enjoying a mitchell christmas with the fam.

in december my grandpa passed away, suddenly, but not entirely unexpectedly. so it was a blessing to be able to be with family after that happened.

i was due to fly straight back to madrid on the 3rd of january but there was an unexpected road trip about to take place.
