2500 miles 3 days and I am home. I spent Wed eve with Jason's family in Tampa and hit the road Thurs morning. I love Louisiana, blues, ragtime, cajun zydico, nice to pass the hours on the low end of the radio dial.
For a cheap hotel room pull into the hotel parking lot jump on their wireless network and register online hotels.com is reasonable and very reliable, you can easily save $40. So Friday was dedicated to a 12 hour battle with the long horned beast that is Texas. In the long desolate valleys radio was reduced to 2 stations both broadcasting the local high school basketball game. I saw a ranch raising camels, which was interesting. Amarillo had some awesome blues on the radio. All I wanted was to bust though the state line and I made my goal with the help of a late night phone call from Anne. Helena also called me everyday it was so nice to catch up with her.
Erich met me at the bottom of our hill with tire chains to make the trek up to the house. 8 inches of fresh snow kept me at the bottom of the driveway. Welcome home heres a shovel!

Back in 1997, I did this drive backwards... ok, like not in reverse, but from CO to FL. Texas is a beast, is it not?
When you coming to visit all of us in Baltimore? Jayme & Colin's wedding was too long ago ; )
