We left Raleigh sometime in the early evening on Tuesday, hunkering down at a large truck stop for the night, huddled amongst hundreds of eighteen wheelers we were hardly noticed. The captain’s chair on the passengers side blew a fuse while in the reclined position prior to bed which made it almost impossible to get [...]
Well, the fulltime adventure has finally begun. We pulled out of here much later than we thought due to the immense amount of material that we thought we had to take with us. Robin has taken enough clothes to clothe a small army, but I bear with her as I know this will diminish as [...]
You can imagine all the hubbub going on around these parts with the Pittsburgh Steelers making their seventh, yes (7th) trip to the Super Bowl and seeking their sixth, yes (6th) Lombardi Trophy.

A busy day preparing for the New Year, it was. Emails to return. Send out well wishing for the future. Call our dear friend Cheryl. Her father passed away yesterday, the day of her birth. I know the gut wrenching of it all. My own papa passed on my 29th birthday. I share my condolences. [...]
