On the Road Again

Road Trip!

I rarely mention mittens, or use names that start with 'X'. But having mentioned mittens, I must leave at once for other lands. (A large bowl of Haggis for those who catch the reference).

My youngest son and I will be leaving Friday to drive from Salt Lake to New York via I-80/90, with a dip down to Gettysburg for some Civil War tourism along the way. It's been four years since he and I have been able to do a road trip together, and I'm looking forward to this one immensely.

I'll drop Michael off in NYC where he has friends, and then continue up to Portland, Maine to see a beloved aunt, and finally down the Eastern seaboard towards Gap Mills, West Virginia, where a 180-acre sheep farm demands my attention until Mid-June. I hope to be able to visit with many friends and relatives along the way also - but my presence on the net may be curtailed as they don't even have cell service up in them thar hills... dialup connection is painful, and the nearest hotspot is like 20 miles down the road

I'll report when I can. Email to my Gmail account will still be checked regularly.

Cheerio!

Hey Old Wolf,

Wave as you pass by Bahstan!

I could do better than that, if your schedule works out. It would be great to say hi again - haven't seen you since the first PonyCon in Atlanta.

It could happen. Drop me an email, and we'll look at schedules

Don't forget to wind your 13 clocks before you go.

And much of the same to your own self! Eat good things, ignore morons at work, and take joy in your family. More as time permits.

Don't be a stranger... just be strange!

Hi!
I see that Gap Mills, WV is 132 miles south mostly of where I am in Harrisonburg,VA if you will be driving anywhere near where I am I'd enjoy meeting you in RL.
I used to live up the road a piece from Port up in Auburn. Have you ever had a Needham a Maine candy special. I think you've heard of Moxie.
Drop me a line at dancingcrane@gmail.com I am in Florida at the moment but will be returning late on the 15th..from Richmond on 64 then 81.
or call after the 15th- 540-564-2488
I'd cook you a meal but I don't have the ingrediants for haggis.. it would have to be something more mundane.
Have a good and safe trip.
