I entered another orbit when I left St. Louis on July 17 for a trip to the East Coast. I went to visit friends, colleagues, family, and to see new places.
My friends are many and my family large. I was able to see a host of friends, my oldest son, my siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and nephews over a five state area.
Even though born and raised in the East, I visited places I had not seen before. Rather than encounter great cultural differences between the East and mid West where I live now, I was struck with the similarity of issues and way of life, discounting population numbers.
I touched down in St. Louis on August 12 where I was greeted by my youngest son, his wife and their two children. It was then I realized my trip provided me with a rich tapestry of experiences and placed me in a different orbit from my accustomed one of ordinary tasks, responsibilities, and the news of the world.
