The funny thing about home is, whenever I return to it in Foley, MN, it's like I'm entering a different life. Things suddenly slow down, walking everywhere isn't an option so the car becomes a necessity, and something as simple as watching a movie turns into a big event.
As I drove home for Christmas this year, I looked forward to these things, but tried as hard as I could to pack my schedule to avoid lulls in the long days.
