Seelenverwandtschaft
After travelling around the world, I wasn't quite ready to dive right back into the work scene. And I wanted to stay with my mom for a while after her surgery and during the radiation therapy. So, I bought a car in San Diego and drove back to Austin.
Austin, TX

I spent that summer with my mom at her new place in Austin, TX. She found out that she had breast cancer on the day that she moved to Austin. Since I had no place that I had to be, I took this opportunity to stay with her during her surgey and radiation therapy. I am happy to say (and my mother too) that now (one year later) there are no remains from the cancer.

My best friend from Tucson, Rob, happens to also live in Austin. We got started in the SCA together back in high school and Rob has continued participating. I got to go to Pennsic XXXI with him. Aug. 9-17, 2002 Pennsic XXXI
Driving across USA
In Sep I left Austin and returned to San Diego via the East Coast. I stopped in New Jersey to visit Rose and Shannon. And then I met up with Ab & Jim in Ab's hometown in Connecticut. I stayed on with Ab's school chum Mary and her husband James in their cool renovated barn. From there I picked up my friend, Patti, in New York. We travelled around New England a bit before a long haul to the SouthWest and then San Diego. Sep. 7-8, 2002

Bertrand called this travelling where I am settling in and doing some self-evaluation: "Seelenverwandtschaft". A poor translation would be "spiritual affinity".
