Palm trees and sunshine.

Cold can take a hike.

Ice, no thank you.

Clouds? One day out of 30 is ok, even welcomed. And of course, rain clouds are welcomed. Necessary even.

And the Clouds that paint the sky and dance with the Florida sunshine. Heaven on Earth.

Add two hours every trip

Fairfield Inn hotel room
Marriott’s Fairfield Inn’s are delightful. We love them.

Experience is undeniable.

One month ago, we drove two days up and three days back down.

Five “all-day” drives.

Almost to a fault, it took two hours longer than the morning pre-departure trip time from Google Maps.

This morning i was skeptical at the 7.25-hour drive forecast. So i added two hours for 9.25 hour probability.

We netted a 10-hour and three-minute drive.

Literally exactly what i thought, before the too-good-to-be-true Google Maps pre-departure forecast.

One last trip down memory lane

Mall food court
Lunch. One last time. Towson Center Mall. It’s across the street from our Hotel. And campus is 100 meters from the Hotel.

Bittersweet is a proper space for life transitions. Surrender to the feeling.

Can easy picture us returning.

All three of us.

Cheryl and i will likely be the first.

But who knows?

Why?

Heritage.

Tradition.

Values.

Relationships.

Fun.

Why not?

Back at The Gaming House. Cheryl is nearing the finish line. We are still focused on staying out of the way.
College dormitory room
Chapin and i went back to the hotel to do a couple things. When we returned to the dorm room… Cheryl made ‘moving’ chaos look like ‘moving-in completion’. But we ain’t moving in, we are vacating the premises. For good

Thanks for the memories.

Memories are awesome.

And yet…

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams.

Unapologetically over-focused

Pickup truck in parking garage
Hotel parking garage is woefully unaccommodating for a 4-door F150.

Over-focusing is the same thing as obsessive attention to detail. i am unapologetically over-focused as heck.

Hardy, the ‘Country’ artist, is unapologetically country as heck.
