Territorial traveling
Well, my busy travel season is about to start. I’ve been looking towards it with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. I generally like the idea of traveling, at least when it’s not by car as I really don’t like driving for long distances all that much. Travel by air or rails can be quite enjoyable. But I digress…
Tomorrow, the Territorial Brood embarks on a jaunt to big sis’s neck of the woods for Saturday’s high-society nuptials of big sis’s daughter #2. It seems that the whole 07/07/07 date played a not insignificant role in driving this particular choice of date back a year+ ago. I might have figured 06/06/06, but you know me… (I kid because I love, big sis… ;^) ). Anyway, we have a nice suite at a Hilton, so the Territorial Redheads will have muy opportunity for pool time. And we’ve made arrangements for the Territorial Boston Terrier to be properly tended to, so we don’t have to worry about riding herd on his cute, but dumb, carcass. (Again, Hammie, I kid because I love…). I’m sure a good time will be had by all. I’m just amazed that big sis hasn’t taken it all that seriously or gotten all that stressed out by it. Oh. Wait. Never mind. (kidding, kidding…)
On Tuesday, I have a few meetings down in West Lafayette that could yield some interesting things. At least that’s only a 90 mile (one-way) drive, so it goes pretty quick.
Then, next week I leave on Saturday for my sojourn down to fair Houston. Texas and the LCMS in July. What’s not to like? I think that it’ll at least be an interesting adventure in terms of travel. And I’ll have my trusty MacBook Pro so that I can blog with impunity all along the way.
Who knows, I might even write well about some/most of all this. My ongoing, pipe-dream, goal is that I’ll embark on a plan of writing one good, solid paragraph every day. Yup, I dare to dream the impossible (or at least improbable) dream.
