[TEAMspinella] A Texas Turkey Sandwich

I'm talking about a trip, actually, that we're already on.

And I don't mean the sign for Turkey, TX we passed in the car yesterday.

I'm speaking of Turkiye, otherwise known as Turkey in the USA, I'm guessing because saying Turkey is much more natural to Americans.

The sandwich part is that I'm flying out of Houston for eleven days of meet ups over there, leaving Laura here, and then flying back for some meet ups here before we go back to Colorado. This also has nothing to do with the guys who would fly into erstwhile buddies from both sides at once hollering "turkey sandwich" when Laura and I went to school in Texas so many years ago, except that since we met here and later sent our kids back here to go to school, we have lasting connections with Texas.

Today we sat in on son-in-law John Forcey's introduction to philosophy class (learning a bit more about the real differences between libertarians and compatibilists, and why all compatibilists are necessarily determinists--and if I'm wrong, well, John's teaching the class, not me, so no worries.) Later we visited the student counseling services of Texas A&M University, taking special note of the office of Sarah Forcey, M.Ed., and meeting a few of her colleagues and supervisors.

If you've been keeping track, you'd know that it's been over 18 months since I left the US. This is a long break between trips for me, maybe the longest in over ten years. I'm a bit excited to be traveling again, but also a bit unexcited. Not traveling brought home to me how much travel costs in terms of disruption and even jet lag. So please remember me as I make this trip, as well as Laura here in Texas. At the same time, I will be spending time with some wonderful people in Turkey, as the global care team I work with gathers from around the world, as well as some other significant people.

In the meantime, we've been discussing some other adjustments that we will be talking with you about very soon.

Thanks for remembering us, in the one who keeps us all, Steve and Laura
