It was a long day today; mentally and physically draining. Not just because of the drive, but because of the vast amount of intellect that went into coming up with just the right slogan replace the one currently used by Missouri. As if now it's between "Missouri: Because we were grandfathered in," and "Missouri: We make you think the place you're from is AWESOME!!!"
We drove from Missouri to Albuquerque (or however the frick it's spelled these days), NM.The worst part of the trip was the piece of Missouri right where you enter the state, over to the place where you go into Oklahoma. PS: If you want to do one of the most exciting and fun things you can ever do in your life, do something other than drive a Budget moving van (with a car trailer in tow) through Oklahoma City.
The company was excellent, though. When hanging with Michael a good time is pretty much assumed. I wasn't getting as good of a workout when I was doing 150 crunches and 100 pushups every day (that was well before I turned 32 I assure you) as I do now cracking up at half of the crap Michael and I say.
I did find out one thing I'm kind of pissed about. We're not driving through Roswell. I brought a freaking video camera for one reason...aliens. Yeah, I told everyone it was to document this trip and get some good filler video of the landscape. But let's be serious here. Roswell is this close and I'm getting zero footage. And the worst part is I have to keep recording all this other crap to keep up the facade. Aliens, baby...that's what this whole trip was about. And get this...Michael was pissed because we didn't get to see some silly arch in St Loius. Please. There are aliens a mere hundred miles or so from where we'll be driving and he wants to see a stinking ARCH?! Come on, Michael, you're a grown man, for crying in a bucket!
It seems we'll be getting into San Diego a bit earlier than we had originally thought. This a great, since I won't be back out here until July and I'd really like to see some of the area. Also, it'd be nice to get some video of the ocean. Maybe fill what's left on the storage card in the digital camera, too.
It's my turn for the shower. More words later.
