I don’t know how I missed posting this reading here! It hit social media in June…

Doodles is an old one. It appeared in a journal called Cooper Street Journal, which is gone now, I think. It was a journal out of Rutgers University.

I filmed this in segments during our train trip home from Tucson, Arizona. So, you’ll see train stations in Temple, Fort Worth, and Dallas, Texas, and footage during the train trip, and in Sabino Canyon, Arizona. It was very windy at some of the locations!

Overnight train travel is an experience! I’m glad we did it, and I’d do it again. But it ain’t the cheapest way to go. We got a sleeper car, which I highly recommend if you will be over night. Also, since your dinner’s are included—and access to the first class dining car—that helps a whole lot.

I’m not sure where the story came from. It’s about going home when you aren’t sure you belong there and have been away a long time. And it’s about how much things change. And how some memories we cherish are simply forgotten by others.
