Coming Home Early/Notable Things I Have Seen and Witnessed/Thoughts and Musings

So, first things first, The Tour has been cut short, and I'm coming home early. The headliner of the Canadian leg of the tour, dropped off the tour, so we're not going to Canada, and coming home early. It's bittersweet, at once I'm excited to come home and see everyone there, and be able to heal up. For those of you who don't know, I've been fighting some sort of sinus infection/cold thing since almost the beginning of the tour. But I'm also sad to go home, I love the road, and will miss meeting new people every day, and seeing the dudes all the time. I also wanted to be able to say that I've toured the US and Canada, just to be able to say, I've done it.

But anyways

Here's a list of things I've seen/done/witnessed/etc in the past weeks of tour in no particular order:
-The Grand Canyon
-Canyonlands National Park
-The Painted Desert
-The Rockies
-New Mexican Desert
-The Pacific Ocean
-The Atlantic Ocean
-The Gulf Of Mexico
-People we've never met open their homes and feed us.
-Lasting Friendships
-After praying for Red's(the drummer of Man of Sorrows) Wife to miraculously get up and leave the hospital, free of all sickness, getting a call from his wife saying that she left the hospital, free of all sickness.
-Sun Records, Yes The Sun Records where Elvis and Johnny Cash among others were discovered.

living in a van with three other dudes and a dog is interesting. Basically I'm married to them. I've certainly matured, and been toughened up by it. I've learned a lot. I'm going to miss tour a lot, and can't wait to tour myself. I've made a lot of friends who I miss dearly. Sometimes sarcasm can get tiring. I love everyone we've toured with and all the dudes I tour with. I'm going to miss them when I'm gone. I miss all of you too. I'll be home soon

With Love
