May 16, 2012

USA Cross-Country Drive, Day 16
I’m in familiar territory again as I make my way north to Philadelphia for a day and then on to New York City. This morning I noticed that my thoughts were drawn once again to Southern California. I imagined myself moving west again after my summer commitment, watching the palm trees [...]

USA Cross-Country Drive, Day 15
It’s Tuesday, May 15th. I made it to the east coast yesterday. Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia faded gently as I crossed the Maryland border on my way to the home of Sister #3. I was grateful to have the miles of rain and foggy mountains behind me. My windshield wipers [...]

USA Cross-Country rive (West Coast to East Coast), Day 3
(This is actually being posted on Day 4. Lack of internet service kept me off line yesterday.)

No Phone? Whaaaat?

May 2, 2012

USA Cross-Country Drive (West Coast to East Coast), Day 2
I thought I lost my phone in Tucson this morning. When I realized it was missing I heard, “You left it at the cafe.” I didn’t quite trust that message so I ripped apart three packed bags and my car, checked the garbage in the hotel [...]
