Long Day's Drive

Dear old Dad. He and Ron swapped places. I kept telling both of them I'd be fine driving to The Ark alone, but neither one of them liked that idea. So Ron went back to DC and Dad took over - joining me for the 3 legs from Tennessee to Colorado. I am so glad for his company.


Goodbye Tennessee. Goodbye Mom, brother 1, brother 2, sister-in-law, dog, cat, and two fish. Goodbye green grass and leafy trees. We'll be hitting the brown scrub in Texas soon enough. But first, an overnight stop in Oklahoma.

Squeaky clean after a long day's drive. A freelance writer's work is always in motion. I love that it's fluid. I can take it with me on the road. Here I am finishing a book review for an upcoming magazine article. Tomorrow I'll continue to head west.
