---Well, my trip was cut short. The people we were staying with had a death in the family so we had to leave 2 days early. I was unable too see any Offmen which is rather upsetting to me. I did however get to see Jen B. and Kris R., both are doing pretty good.
I spent time with family which made me realize one big thing. I truly am the black sheep of the family which makes me feel good in one way because it signifies my individuality, but at the same time, it made me feel left out. It was nice to see my cousins that I havent seen in 10 plus years.....
The people we stayed with were abosolutely wonderful and great hosts. I had 4 dogs to hang around with which was pretty neat and lots of good food. I got to stay in the basement of the house we were at, so I pretty much had that to myself.
Im glad to be home, but not earlier than projected. I am really upset that I couldnt see Pete and Mike. I am though, very eager to see my daughter again tomorrow.....
Thats all from here, Im glad to be back on t he blog, where are you guys? I know Scott is out of town, but where are the rest of the guys?---

nice to have you back, and I'm sure your daughter will be glad to see you. I kinda felt the same way about family gatherings, it's hard to get out of the roll of the "black sheep"
Yeah the whole black sheep thing is something Ive never been able to shake. My quietness, all the tattoos, my general attitude...they all add up to being an outsider as far as the family goes.
I'm glad you made it back home OK, tempered with a little disappointment that we were not able to meet up. But I understand that these things happen.
To chime in w/ the black sheep thing. I don't know if I'm the black sheep, per se, but my family definitely knows I come at life from a different angle than they do. That being said my family still loves me and accepts me. And for that, I love them.

I definitely know my family still loves me and cares about me a great deal, its just so hard to get out of the black sheep roll.
I have always felt it was one of the hallmarks of an Offmen. To love ones family, to be loved by ones family, but still feel trapped in the body of a black sheep. I know the same is true for me.
Let me tell you, I had some competition for the black sheep role back in the day. I lost out cause I didn't keep losing jobs due to drug addictions. But I'm glad to say that that member of my family is all squared away and doing pretty well for himself nowadays.
