  A Slight Change of Plans Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. -John Lennon The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. I spent most of it in my hometown, Austin, seeing everyone I have ever known in my life who still lives in Tejas.
(All my exes live in Texas. Okay, not really but most of them. ) Since I started writing a book on dating several weeks ago, the past is right here in my face, complete with screwed up relationships, lessons learned and not learned, and past loves galore. I am far from a dramatic chick, but have been juggling my rage and melancholy with laughter and a sense of contentment.
Prior to yesterday I was planning to move to San Francisco in September indefinitely. After being in Austin for the fourth time since I moved last July, I realized that I want to live there too. So I hatched a plan to live here in the Bay area in the summer and there in TX in the winter. Whenever that is financially feasible, which should be 2005 or 06. Exciting? Yes. Further, I have been wanting to go to India for years and the time has come.
In September when my lease ends, I will become a nomad for a few months. I will be flitting around California, Utah and Texas. I plan on touring India for 4-6 weeks in October/November, coming home to Austin in November/December and moving back to SF in December/January. Sometimes it seems so futile to make a plan such as this. Life never goes as planned. But it's a blueprint. I'm a yogi. I'm flexible.
