Day 1: Mile 0 Houston, Tx


I sit here at 17027 N. Ivy Circle patiently awaiting a mountain of manure filled dirt that will be deposited to enrich the soil beneath. This mountain will be spread to all lengths of the designated area that has been meticulously tilled over and over again until not a single hint of a weed was in sight. This mixture will hopefully thoroughly nourish the multitudes of veggies that I will plant today for the next couple of months. The journey these veggies will take over the next couple months is a similar one to the excursion that I will embarking upon. Hopefully I too will be bearing marvelous new found fruits gained from extending my roots all of over the Eastern seaboard. Each new place and each new visitor will shed light and provide nourishment furthering the prosperity I seek to gain.

I finally begin my trip in the next half hour heading North towards Ft. Worth. This road trip is something that I have desperately wanted to do for a long time and now I finally found some time to make it happen.

Hers a couple more pics of my garden.

In the future I will attempt to refrain from haphazardly placed analogies and stick to more conventional usage of the English language.


I leave you with some scripture that seems appropriate for my trip.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and its place shall know it no more.

Oh and if you want to make bets on how long my trip will last just get a hold of my brother. I am expecting to come back around the beginning of June.

I'm out.
