After the Trip
The Tuesday after the July 4th weekend, I squeezed Kitty in the driveway and watched her wind away from home on a week long road trip towards northern California with four of her best pals; Amy, Nathan, Tom & Jenn. Later that afternoon, I squeezed Hannah and put her on a plane for a workshop in Chicago. I got a call from Hannah when she landed at Midway Airport and we navigated her into a flat rate cab to her hotel. I got a call from Kitty that evening, "Mom!! We're in the Badlands... it's SO BEAUTIFUL..." and another the following evening as she crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. Then, I got a call from Hannah as she arrived at the bus station in Chicago & was interviewed by Spanish TV (re: travel on the day bombs went off in the Underground in London) and again when she left the bus station in Madison. We chatted while she walked the three blocks home at 1AM dragging her orange wheeled suitcase behind her.
A week later, I came home from work on Wednesday afternoon, passing Kitty & Krew on the road heading away from home again. They had returned home late Tuesday night, exhausted & inspired. I kissed her and went to bed -- inspired and relieved. The note on the porch table said they were heading to the Electric Fetus in the city.... obviously unable to stay out of the car after their adventure. They had cleaned out the car before leaving.... and this is what was left from the road trip.

Yeah, probably safer than those controlled substances I used back in the day.
Eeeaaasy. We had a rough couple weeks.... busybusybusy w/ work & taxes & drinking with a visitor from upstate NY.
Nonetheless, we got your fresh fotos right here, sqsd. You are right -- the countdown is on and I'm not working again until after THE DAY. We'll do our best to make up for our LAZINESS.
Thanks for fresh pics. You might think that entertaining me is work—I can be a handful. And here's to THE DAY!
The Fetus rocks.
