filkertom | Dateline: Texarkana (Reply)

I slept in late this morning -- I was dead tired. I might do the same tomorrow. But, if I do, it's cool. Because today was exactly the kind of day I want to have as much as possible with this jaunt: I drove not quite ten hours, had a lovely time singin' along with everything from Assassins and Sweeney Todd to Beatles and BNL. The weather was great, the road was open, the traffic was light, and it was just a Really Good Travel Day. And I made it all the way from Terre Haute to Texarkana, and finished off with some good Mexican food. Somehow I doubt I'll have even one more day as good as this the whole trip, but damn today was everything I'd hoped for.

So, who's gonna be in Houston tomorrow? :) Alternately, what's your best travel memory -- not vacation, but the actual to-and-from?

Update: Small bit of late-night berserk. My BIPAP machine wouldn't work no matter what outlet I plugged into. Thought it was broken, until I got it to work in the bathroom -- and then it didn't work in the bathroom. I noticed that I had the light off the second time the same moment I realized that the laptop suddenly had no power. Turns out half the outlets in the room are based on the light switch at the front door. Aiee. I need to become rich and design motels for human beings, 'cause the shitheads actually paid for that have fucked this up time and again.
