Another long day of driving.. I think 10 hours. .. We started with a light dusting of snow, then rain.. .. we drove through Pittsburgh, columbus and Indianapolis . .. lots of traffic.. lots of trucks.. but still it was fun.
we listened to a great audio book by Lulu Miller.. t was called “Fish dont exist:.. I dont want to to discuss the polt.. but it’s a wonderful book.. it weaves the authors life struggles with those of a historical figure who studied fish.
Cant say any more.. but I strongly recommend it.
We got to Terra Haute about 7PM .. had a nice japanese dinener and wet to sleep in our nice hotel
we drove about 8 and a half hours until we got to State College where our good freinds Kate and Steve live. We met them early onn when we moved to Pittsburgh for grad school. Max was about 6 weeks old . Their son Matthew and Max have been close freinds ever since.
It was so great seeing them
here’s a picture of Steve when he was in college !
while we were there Matthews wife Caroline called with their two kids Anna and James. .. Anna knows us.. she saw diane and said “where’s the boy ?”
We had a great meal.. takled late.. tehn headed to bed.. We’ll start driving tomorrow..
I’ve still been really sad about Bob Weir’s passing.. cant stop listeing to his music. Many folks at work are postign their favorite Bobby songs on our #now-spinning slack channel
This morning Mike sent me this picture of him, Bobby and me.. …I realized I didnt have one . it meant very much to em to have it.
Spent the rest of the day workign .. gettign ready to be out wed and thursday.. Diane and I will be driving our CRV down to Diane’s brother and sister in law Steve and Denise in Kansas.. its part of a multi way swap. we’re leaving the CRV in kansas, so we dont have three cars when Gabe hands over his subaru when he gets to vermont. max and Becky will then fly to Kansas at some point in the future and drive it back to Santa Fe.. Its been a great car.. happy to see Max and Becky getting it now.
