Tires on the pavement, static on the radio, and a three and a half hour drive lay before me. But first I learned… how you say… “cup”. The fellow at the Econolodge front desk looked befuddled when I told him I had two beds in my room but only one blanket, but then, this isContinue reading “There’s No Place Like Home Away From Home”

Yo Ho Ho… Where’s My Bottle of Rum?
Radio commercials are weird. This afternoon, I heard the same commercial for hair loss a number of times. The company was called IHRS. Try saying that out loud with a bit of a slur and a heavy southern accent and see if it sounds a little funny to you. It sure sounded funny to me,Continue reading “Yo Ho Ho… Where’s My Bottle of Rum?”
It’s All in the Mind, You Know
Today I am $5 richer after offering one of my AirBnB mates a free ride to her grad school interview after five Lyft drivers in a row cancelled on her. We speculated that perhaps we had spent the night in Skeazeville. It seemed likely. In any case, it was a short drive to the interview,Continue reading “It’s All in the Mind, You Know”
Everything Should Make You Happy
“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.” Douglas Adams’ words from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy came to mind as I was wandering the aisles of the vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big Barberville Yard Art Emporium. This little guy made me laugh. I thought about taking him home.Continue reading “Everything Should Make You Happy”

But first, I spent $3 on lunch from a McDonald’s inside a gas station (weird), where they had an old school arcade cabinet that actually took quarters! Naturally, I stopped for a game of Ms. Pac Man. Traffic was better today;Continue reading “Sugar High”
A Crumby Drive
Q: Is there anything worse than having to pee while you’re driving on the highway? A: Yes. Having to pee while driving, ending up waiting for a drawbridge, getting stuck in a traffic jam, waiting for another drawbridge, and then missing the entrance to the only convenience store you’ve seen in miles. What a day.Continue reading “A Crumby Drive”
Feelin’ Fruity
Does fruit make you gassy? Asking for a friend. Maybe it was the gas station fried chicken. Hmm. Let’s backtrack a little here. I started my morning on the road towards Homestead, FL. It was raining, and visibility wasn’t great. It started to clear up, but I played it safe and stopped at Goodwill toContinue reading “Feelin’ Fruity”
Hellooo Miami!
As I sit in my quiet lil’ AirBnB room, in a lovely home at the end of a dead end street, it’s starting to sink in that I am officially on my long anticipated road trip! Today was a busy one, and I am already excited to get out of the Miami traffic tomorrow. It’sContinue reading “Hellooo Miami!”
