Got Road Trip?

Looking at a mall from a hotel room at night
Towson Center Mall from our hotel room minutes before we started yesterday’s drive South.
Man driving on a rainy day
South of the Border (tourist trap, as they say).

Pushing your limits helps you know your limits. Limits are generally annoyingly underestimated.

dad

Knowing today would be a 10-hour drive, i already knew i had it in me. A month ago i didn’t.

Why?

Because i did it a month ago for the first time in decades.

Now it’s muscle memory.

Why? How?

From all the long-haul drive reps in my 20’s and 30’s.

Ew, people (Yee-haw)

Clever T-shirt saying
Perfect T-shirt for the remote trails in Glacier.

i like people. But i love hiking all day in Glacier without seeing anyone.

dad

Walking through Towson Center (Mall), we browsed Hot Topic. This t-shirt caught my eye.

Safe to assume Santa is now aware.

College Holiday

College dining hall
Mary Fisher Dining Hall. Debuted 2020.

My advice to high schoolers making a college decision: Be near an airport. Ensure the cafeteria is amazing.

dad

Four (or more) years is a long time to not have great food.

College is a great time to travel. And if you can afford to fly, easy access to an airport is over-focusing.

Red-necker than you

Preparing for liftoff. Four doors so all three of us have ‘indoor’ seats. Yet a large enough truck bed to hold all your college stuff from five years.

My hometown of Spring Grove, Pennsylvania didn’t have a traffic light for like 250 years. And the first one only flashed yellow.

dad

Probably got redneck blood in my family tree. Probably more redneckear than you.

Never see it coming?

Caterpillar chrysalis
These always make me smile.

Never seeing things coming is a blessing and a curse.

dad

Seeing the chrysalis prompted a question for the first time ever. A question that challenges convention thinking that a caterpillar never sees the butterfly coming.

As caterpillars grow and mature, they must see other chrysalis and butterflies. Right?

If they have the innate knowledge to know when and how to stop being a caterpillar, makes sense to me they know what they’re signing up for.

Insight: While we may not see exactly what is coming for us personally, we can see others ahead of us and have a decent idea what the ‘aging landscape’ generally offers. Then, we can prepare accordingly, to the best of our (unknown) ability.
