Two locks on side of the road in Scandia, MN. One button-up shirt and someone’s pants at Garry Noland’s house in Independence, MO. I left my purse at a barbecue spot in Nashville. A phone charger in New York City. Daniel forgot his green tea at Jorge’s. One lost sock (of course) in Chattanooga. Lost a tassel in Chelsea. One L-bracket somewhere in Omaha. A wallet outside a hotel in OKC. A driver’s license in Cincinnati. One existential crisis in Tulsa. One mental breakdown in a backyard on Signal Mountain. 13 tears in the front of the truck at a gas station in Texas…

We lost hope along the way and found it again, we lost weight along the way and found a kitten to replace it, we lost patience with each other and we learned how to live. 

a crisis is: 

-a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger.
-an emotionally significant event or radical change of status in a person's life.
-a time when a difficult or important decision must be made.
-the turning point of a disease (in our own words: the human condition) when an important change takes place, indicating either recovery or death.

You’re burning daylight, time to shit or get off the pot.
