On the road again....

Well, after a couple weeks of being a bum at home it's time to get back on the road and be a bum somewhere else. Wednesday I loaded everything back up, rubbed my St. Christopher (the patron saint of travelers) medallion that Barb from the theatre gave me before I left this spring, and started heading east.

I had a lot of things I wanted to do while I was home but I ended up not really getting many of them done. I was pretty unmotivated and the weather didn't cooperate real well either. It was either rainy, cold, windy, hot, humid, or some combination of those. The day I left was the nicest day by far and the type of weather I was hoping to have while back home. That late summer/early fall weather in the midwest when the humidity drops to bearable levels, the wind is calm, the sun is shining, and the temps are in the mid/upper 70's. Hmm, kind of sounds like the middle of summer in the Pacific northwest.....

Anyway, it was nice driving weather too and I got to see a lot of rural Iowa driving the back roads to the east. The crops are drying in the fields and waiting to be harvested; in my opinion the prettiest time of year in Iowa.

As I'm sure you've noticed I've been falling behind on my blog as well so I'll try to play catchup over the next couple days; so you can expect quite a few short ones to catch you up on some of the things that happened while I was back home.
