Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Do you know what else today is?
On the Road Again
Don’t let that tree fool you. I’m totally driving down the highway. I’m off to Chicago to pick up my dad, but we won’t be staying. I imagine I’ll be in Chi-town for a total of twenty minutes, then it’s back on the road. ETA: My dad and brother missed their connection in Phoenix last …

I Present to You…
… my dad’s van. Sure, it’s a sweet ride and all, but it handles like a refrigerator. Here’s hoping I find wheels of my own soon.
