I've sat down to write this multiple times and never satisfied with what I was writing. It all seemed to come around to coming home so we're going to go with that this month.
The Bay Area Renaissance Festival (BARF) has closed its last show of the 2025 season. Adversity or more importantly, overcoming adversity. It all started Sunday, the last day of BARF. The morning looked ominous but the weather was holding out. The first 3 shows were packed and the fourth was shaping up to be a great one also. The rain came and it was torrential, pretty much getting everything wet. Simultaneously at home an equally destructive storm was raging and took the power out. Packing and loading wet equipment in the trailer Monday morning after it stopped raining is not ideal. Everything will have to be opened up, cleaned, dried and put back. The drive home took 20 hours through storms, accidents and a blown tire on Austin's truck. Arrived home to no power since the Sunday storm and a wife equally as happy about it. Two days after arriving home I still can't unload the trailer and dry everything as it's still raining…another storm and another tree down.
Sometimes we just need to put our head down and endeavor to persevere, even when it seems like the universe is talking to us we need to just push through to the end when the sun's ray break over the horizon dawning on a great new day.
Cheers.
