Day 1 of road trip is complete. Took me about 9 hours to get here from CT, and that includes about an hour of gas/rest stops. Passed the time mainly by singing loudly to my rockin tunes. One thing I'll have to get used to is driving into the setting sun, and the fact that I'm chasing it doesn't help. Yesterday it was like I was on a treadmill, trying to keep the sun shining right into my windshield.
Stayed with cousin Colin last night and will tonight as well. Aside from a dog that wants to take my hand off, it's a pretty nice situation. Saw Aunt Erica and Mean Old Uncle Bill for dinner; then went to Colin's volleyball league game. Kudos to Kent for having this league. It's a bowling alley, with two sand volleyball courts (with lights) and a tiki bar outside. And they have keno, which is apparently fun. But yeah, seems like a pretty fun league to be a part of.
Today, I'm gonna get lunch with Colin and Bill, and then head up to Cleveland and check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I expect to see quite a few artists who were aided by performance enhancing drugs. Maybe baseball should take notice.
Hopefully I'll be back tonight in time to watch the Cavs game. More importantly, hopefully the Cavs win, which will put everyone around here in a good mood, and then we can go out and have a good time.
Speaking of my rockin tunes, here's my music insight of the day, inspired by what I'm listening to on my drive: I really like Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy", but I do take some offense to how she generalizes all men. "Welcome to my world," says every female reading this.
Until next time, a road errodes if ridden with woes (I made that up myself).
Mike
