Rockin' In A Motel Room 1241
Monday, July 4, 2005-11:03 P.M.
Hello. I'm back home from Florida after a two-day, 48-hour excursion. O.K., to be honest, I stayed over in a Sleep Inn from 12:30 last night to 10:30 this morning, but I needed the sleep.
The total trip was 1405 miles, which I accomplished by killing off 850 miles yesterday and the balance today (555 miles if you're counting). I did the trip today in about 10 hours, and truth to tell, I dragged my feet a little bit. I was just so sick of being in a car, I stopped every chance I got...to get gas, to eat, to use the bathroom...I broke every road rule there is. But I'm so glad to be home.
My daughter barely recognizes me...she's changed so much, her hair grew and darkened, she's taller...wait a minute, that's my wife. The baby is still pretty much the same, though, but she is giving me that "Do I know you?" look and it's breaking my heart.
I'll give the full West Palm Beach rundown and some more issues tomorrow, but today, I have to deal with a hot evening with no air conditioning...apparently, ol' Bessie gave up the ghost a day or two ago, so on the docket tomorrow....new air conditioner. On the docket tonight....sweatin' in the bed.
One day off full of fun, and then back on the road. Nice life, huh?
