okay, i'm in new york! just out of the city, actually, in new rochelle, westchester county, or something like that. we went 3,047 miles in five days. pretty slow normally, but blazing fast if you realize that we were trailing a 5 x 10 trailer with a 4 cylinder jeep. so, here we are, but my journey's just started.
first off, i have to get to lynn, mass, tomorrow BY 1 PM in order to play some rugby. then i have to get to portland to meet up with some people. THEN i can rest. sunday's an off-day. and dammit, i need one! i just want to sit on the couch, do nothing and let lethargy take me over.
it's been a hell of a trip, crossing california, arizona, new mexico, texas, oklahoma, missouri, illinois, pennsylvania, new jersey and now we're here just outside the Big Apple - but i have one anecdote i want to share. you know the whole glass half full/half empty parable? well, mikey solved it. and i'm here to explain it: there are two answers to this, because of two very important things: gas tanks and bladders. gas tanks exist to be emptied. so, if there's half a tank left, it's half EMPTY. bladders, on the other hand, exist to be filled. so when you are about halfway away from your eyeballs floating, you're half FULL.
folks, we're here to help you...
missing the valley, can't wait to get back!!

it certainly is sometimes good to be back to a familiar place. i kind of feel that way now that i am back here for some reason, but i know how you feel.
