Little sister can't you find another way, no more livin' life behind a shadow

Busy day, but productive.

It started out with me taking the car in for service, and ending up with new brakes.  Surprise!  But the surprise if they failed as we're cruising cross-country would have been a lot worse, so no complaints here.

Then out for brunch with my high-school sweetheart, which was a lot of fun.  It's been almost 2 years since I've seen him, after not seeing him for 30 years before that.

Then out for errands: gassing up the car, buying food for the road from Whole Foods, buying still more packing boxes.

And all the while getting updates from home.  Yes, I do mean Portland.

Counting down the days til I'm home.
