I need to figure out what I want to do with my life, short and long term. With my looming relationship change and my dogs staying with my parents, everything is on the table. I'll be a single guy driving around the country in well-worn ruts, springs, and vehicles. So while that may provide a lot of quality time for thinking, why wait :)
