Last night, around 7:30 PM, I set foot in Kansas for the first time in 381 days (I checked). I like flying across the United States — I watch the cities break into checkerboard farmland and the greengoldbrown of the fields reminds me that even though I'm not a farmgirl, I'm definitely a Midwesterner.

Today was a lavish Lawrence-based binge: biking through my parents' neighborhood, walking downtown, having lunch with an old friend at a new restaurant, being a rock star with my little brother.

Robert Louis Stevenson said, "I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move." Still, sometimes it's just nice to be home.
