It's 8:50 pm Alaska time on Saturday night, Jan 2nd. That means that it's 11:50 pm. back in Minnesota. I shed a few tears and kissed my wife and kids goodbye yesterday at Noon. I've been "On the Road" for quite some time now... I'm ready for bed.
But it's got me thinking that although riding in my fancy new truck this past two weeks has been rather enjoyable...so has my new Frequent Flier Status.

Man, I got dizzy just reading all of that. Good thing you're not afraid of flying like some people are.
Keep up the writing, you've been on a roll the last couple of days.
Keep warm,
Jeff
