Getting
out of the house and on the road last Saturday was tough. It felt like jumping
through a plate glass window, or being born, or re-entering Earth’s gravity
after space travel. Transition is painful for me. I really don’t see how people
with two houses do it all the time.
Building the new Tappan Zee Bridge |
We
finally got on the road Saturday morning at 10:40, crossing the Hudson on the
Tappan Zee Bridge, taking the Garden State Parkway to the New Jersey Turnpike,
and crossing over the DelMemBr. We drove from the top of Maryland to the
bottom, finally deciding to take BOTH cats on the boat instead of leaving one
in St. Mary’s with Lauren. Whether this was the right decision or not, we’ll
know in a few weeks.
We
stopped for the night just past the Virginia line in Roanoke Rapids, North
Carolina, and got some great barbecue! UNC was playing in the NCAA men’s
basketball final game so the whole town was at Ralph’s getting their barbecue
before it started. Unfortunately, UNC lost, but I won the family basketball
pool in both the men’s and women’s tournaments! Since I was the only one to do
a women’s pool, I had no rivals, and once again, the UConn women won! HOORAY!
When we return I can write my own name on the trophy for both categories.
