…or first ones, I guess. Depends on how you look at the next two weeks.
The lease on our apartment is up at the end of the month, so — like it or not — by July 1 we won’t have a place to live. In the meantime, I hope to start posting updates here; these probably will not be daily, and probably not very long, but I thought it’d be more convenient (for you and me) to do it this way than by cramming a gigantic email update into everyone’s Inboxes.
One other note: I can’t make any promises (So what else is new?, you ask), but I hope that Toni will occasionally drop her own notes here, too. Odds are very very very good that our impressions of everything — road trips in general, this road trip in particular, points of interest, and so on — our impressions will differ quite a bit. I’d hate to bear the responsibility for representing her side fairly!

Got it…
John says
I was pretty confident you would. 😉

Follow-up:
I’ve looked into a possible way to provide automatic read-aloud capability. Once — IF — I get it going all right, it will work pretty smoothly. However, it’s proving to be a bit more difficult to set up than I thought it would. So, we’ll see!
Cynth says
So none of these comments showed up in my email. Am I not doing something?
John says
This is gonna drive me nuts, I can tell — definitely an “It’s not you, it’s me!” thing. I have a feeling it will take me a while to unsnarl. I’m looking forward to doing so, finally, from (say) somewhere in Arkansas! 🤣
John says
Note, by the way: the first time you commented, you used a slightly different “sign-in” — i.e., “Cynthia” rather than “Cynth.” The blogging software assumes you’re two different people, even though the email address is the same. I can probably fix this… just let me know!

So did the boxes contain all the same stuff? If so, that’s some real packing mojo.

I’m trying to figure out why people who checked the “notify me of new posts” box haven’t received such notifications.

Just started reading tonight!! I love your writing and look forward to catching up to where you are now…Oh!! Still at daughter’s resident, still waiting for the Missus to get well, still waiting to “get this show ON THE ROAD… Can’t wait to get to the last 3 weeks‼️Does the Missus have a bell to summon assistance?? 🤩😩♥️
John says
Good to see you here! Just remember to check the date of any post you’re reading — the “three weeks” at the time I posted this, of course, has since turned into, what, five or six weeks?!? It’s felt like living in bomb shelter for some weird psychological experiment.
The Missus needs no bell, she has something at least as good: a solicitous partner. 🤩
