Connected, with technical difficulties
We arrived in Connecticut on Wednesday and I spend a good part of my morning today with Roy, the Comcast guy trying to hook up our phone, cable and Internet, and after talking to at least six different customer service people, and getting transferred to the real life Outsourced I’ve just discovered that HD ABC [...]
Magical
The Boss took this photo as we were nearing the tail end of the California state line. It’s not just sandy beaches and water out there, you know. The Golden State has miles of this beautiful mountainous terrain, which we were lucky enough to drive along side for about 45 minutes. It took me about [...]
Four states to go!
This picture was taken around 10 p.m. on Saturday night after The Boss and I had been in the car for almost 10 hours. We’d been awake since 5 a.m., and were going on less than four hours of sleep. Maybe not the best way to start our four-day cross-country road trip, but at least [...]

I could hardly contain my excitement as the cashier handed it [...]
One-way ticket
