Update from an airport in NC

Well I have finished the first MO tour and am now stuck in an airport in NC, waiting for my connecting flight to Nowheresville, NC (2 hours late and counting) where I will spend two weekends at a Dueling bar. I have 3 days off where I will meet my friend R in Raleigh, where I've never been but have heard it's a fun and vibrant city from my brother who at one time was considering living there. I have been asked back to Missouri for the month of August which will give me two weeks off in July to spend with my people and my things in NYC. After I finish the MO gig in August I am booked back here in NC for the month of September. Then I need to figure out my living situation back in NYC since my current lease is up in Oct. This past year I've lived with my best friend in NYC, but I suspect that next year I will be on the road more than I will be home so I'm not sure I want to commit to a full year of NYC rent. Meanwhile, I will try to re-rent out my own apartment when my tenant's lease is up in January as I like that money coming in.
