Laughter

Just starting to sink in that this isn't a vacation. When traveling away from home any other time, there's always been that lingering feeling that the adventure's end was within sight, for good or bad. But not this time. The indefinite time frame has an odd sense about it. But it is indeed an adventure. And how could I not want an adventure?

Making a few stops to relax and regroup has been fun. Daily team meetings are a blast of course when we really get down to business. Surrounded by a group of friends - what more could a guy ask for?

Alice is still right behind us. Though I've sneaked over to her vehicle a few times just to get behind the wheel and get some different company, chunks at a time. I make everyone on the bus laugh. Alice makes me laugh. And she seems to run on her own energy to create her own laughter that bubbles over. I love Break Out, no doubt - but having one of my best friends along certainly makes things sweeter.

Another bump in the road - another jolt to the system. It's amazing we don't all need chiropractors after Jordan's driving. I'm going to stop typing now before my precious laptop goes flying off my lap.
