Hit the road Jack

July 24,

2:56 a.m. last minute details and then I hit the road for a 9 hour drive down route 95. Said all my good-byes with one exception...Brent. In over 13 years we have only been separated from each other by a few days at a time, this will be the longest ever not to see each other first thing in the morning. Intellectually I know 6 months is not a very long time, but when your accustomed to coffee, and sharing time with someone you get rather used to a routine and it will be strange for a while. We hung out together a lot this week, nothing special (we are broke new house and all)and it was really cool just watching television and enjoying each others company. I tried to make joke of leaving and all, but it only pissed him off so change of subject was a pretty easy thing to do.

My sisters came over Sunday to wish me well, the neighbors have done so also. I am getting e-mail from the other interns all seem like really nice people and we all share the nervous thing regarding meeting and all. This one is a short entry I need to be on the road no later than 04:00.

HERE WE GO FOLKS...Next stop Hilton Head Island South Carolina.
