The map tried to put us in the parking lot for the Office Max to make a u-turn and go back the way we came. We found it in the end. There’s a man standing outside the front doors; he looks tired and sad and when he sees us I see the pain I feel …

I wasn’t entirely sure how I wanted to start this blog post. Or this series rather. Would I need to go back and explain reffing? Derby? My goals and the past year? Should I just jump straight in and talk about the trip? I wasn’t sure. I’m still not entirely sure. I wanted some sort …
