i am now writing from a Motel 6 in Indiana, i had to stop, the coffee was starting to turn me into a cracked out staring machine trying not to become hypnotized by the passing white lines.
it all started with a little soar throat and that turned into a full blown head cold. Now i am a firm believer that you are only as sick as you keep telling yourself you are. in other words, the trick to getting better is to talk about how good you feel and not how shitty the headache and runny nose really is... well that, and a whole lot of cayenne and garlic and the past two days has flown right by!
Thanks to Jilayne and Ira for hosting me in Boulder... good sleep, food, conversation, and excersise, the perfect solace to recharge for leg 2; which was really long and flat... i honestly counted over 100 miles without turning... but it's really wide, much better than Mexico, and the jeep only gets 180 miles to a tank so we have to stop alot.
well i'm really tired, and need to get up early to head for the Grasso residence in PA... get that wiskey ready!
the picture below is in Utah just before we crossed into CO... i wish i could say that was really how i felt on such a beautiful day... at least it was true for one of us!
