Aug 9th - 18th, 2009 As I wrap up one chapter in my life, I know the end must be better than the middle, so I have some big shoes to fill…
Aug 9th Princeton, NJ
I woke up to rain and asked if I could stay one more day. It was ok, so Blair and I had talked about a day at the movies, so we headed off to a flick called “500 days of Summer “ which was a very
August 3rd – 8th
Aug 3rd Norwood, MA
So it was time to move on once again. It’s weird as the trip gets further in; it gets harder to move on. I hung around till everyone was up and I could say good bye. This has become like a second home to me and I know I will see them all soon so it was not too hard to leave. The day was beautiful and I got into the swing of things pretty fast. I
July 27th Buffalo, NY to Auburn, NY
So it was finally time to leave Buffalo, New York and it was not too big of a deal since I was seeing them all again in four days for Jeremy’s birthday. There was still a sense of moving out. We had all gotten along so great and I will miss Sunita’s, Tom’s and my nightly philosophizing. I followed Jeremy to my turn
July 18th Toledo, OH
I was so excited for today was the day I got to venture to the Motor City- Detroit, Michigan. Peggy and I picked up a few of her friends and we were off. I must note that one friend had a beautiful home her mom left her with artifacts of her world travels. The home was stunning but at the same time very claustrophobic thinking about all that would have to be moved. It is just this freedom one gains by not having things - it allows movement. I just think about my simplicity and how it translates into

July 14th Louisville, KY
I must say the universe must feel that it is time to let loose because good times have been the theme of the last few days and I must say the good times are not over. Festivals are in the air and I am now making them all instead of missing them like in the past. I finally had to leave my new home of Louisville and head out. I did not leave till noon but with these long days it was still light till nine so even leaving that late
July 6th Memphis, TN to McKenzie, TN
It was time to move on up the road. I had breakfast and a lovely morning chat with Gabrielle and her mom till about 10:30. It was hard to leave but I knew it was time. I hit the road at a nice pace and the wind was almost not even a bother factor. I am at peace with all things to do with weather and I just moved forward. It is my only mission and I have come too far to fail. I must say that the spin
June 28th Springfield, IL to McBride, MO
It is a beautiful day and the weather is great, but the heat is rising. I really have not minded too much though - it just reminds me of Atlanta. I was ready to go and headed off to some slightly strong wind. The wind really does not bother me anymore either - I just think of it as a way Mother Nature talks to me. The ride was great and before I knew it I was in Chester the home of Popeye and the end of Illinois. I went over the Mississippi River which always puts
