Home, Sweet Home!

It's always good to return home, no matter how wonderful your time away!  And so it was, that on this past Friday, October 21, at 2:15 a.m., Veritas returned home after three weeks on the road.  It was quite an eventful trip.  For those of you who have kept up with this blog you can attest to the truth of that assertion.  Nearly six-thousand miles, twenty-two states (10 capitals), 2 national parks, 1 national lakeshore, hundreds of thousands of color-turning trees, 1 back-packing trip, 1 celebrity sighting and 1 presidential "near-miss," we arrived home safe and sound twenty-one days after beginning this epic journey.

What's next for Veritas?  Well, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, followed soon thereafter by the Christmas Break.  We'll knuckle down for some serious on-campus instruction during these next couple of months, but hit the road again in January for our annual ski retreat to Beech Mountain, NC.  Of course, we're already looking ahead to our Spring Semester Trip to the last ten states (of the 48 contiguous states) not yet visited by Veritas.  I daresay that we're already in a very elect group of Wacoans (who else in our fair city has visited 38 of the 50 states?), but I'm not sure anyone else has been to all of the "Lower 48."

Till next time, this is Veritas -- discovering our world, making a difference!
