I leave for Sacramento on Wednesday, the 29th, to visit Trevor. I'll be staying with him until October 4 when I leave for Mazatlan. He has some fun events planned for us like going to an A's game and spending a day in Frisco. I hope that we have time just to hang out, relax, and play a little XBOX.

Still have some loose ends to tie up: Get the last of my stuff into storage and make my final decisions on what I'll be packing for the trip. My vaccines still aren't completely finished; I still have 2 Typhoid pills to take and my last Hep A/B shot. Got to arrange my airport shuttle, completely clean out the Nissan so it's ready to sell, cancel/buy insurances, and work my last 3 dinner shifts at the restaurant. There's probably more but as usual I'm forgetting it at the moment.

A very nice couple gave me a very nice gratuity for my trip last night at the Restaurant, and for that I'm very grateful. Their support, kindness, and invitations of hospitality blew me away. Thank you Pat and Terri Livingston.

Saying goodbye to my friends and family is the hardest item I have left to wrap up, and it's of course the most important. More on that later when I force myself to deal with it.

My Trevor Tribute:

Arguing calls, throwing chairs

Going deep

You can't throw this out

His name in lights
