Back in Raleigh

It's 11:45 pm local time and I'm back in Raleigh, safe and sound. Everything here seems to be as I left it.

My connecting flight was through Dallas again this year, and I heard the same raised voices at customs and security ... is it just Dallas? I hope so.

There are several more observations I want to make, and will do so shortly. I slept on the plane a good bit so I'm not too sleepy. Fortunately there's a cold bottle of sake in the refrigerator with my name on it.
It's two or three years since I left and went away
Now I've come back to Otogo shrine
But there's something I want you to understand:
My travels haven't changed me a bit
My eyeballs are still where they were before--
right underneath my eyebrows
