Homeward Bound

The Wizard has landed.

Twenty-five days at sea - er, 25 days in the Intracoastal Waterway - Matt Layden of Rio is finally home. Gone is the month of March. Nearly over is the 2006 NCAA Basketball tournament. Easter is nearly here.

And Matt Layden has finished his version of the Odyssey, sans the sirens, all that treachery, and the agony of the Scylla and Charybdis - which he kind of saw in the middle of Lake Okeechobee and in the Okeefenokee Swamp.

What's up next for the weary traveler? A leisurely stroll to Idaho? A swim to Bimini?

Matt will be taking it easy for awhile, letting his lovely wife relax in knowing where he is and what he has eaten for dinner.

Thanks, Matt, for taking all of us along for the ride. I'm not sure how many folks have been on this blog, but it's probably more than you could fit into the Enigma.

And I know it's more than you wanted to drag down a two-lane road in south Georgia.
