Sorry, folks. After hours of thinking it over, I’ve been
able to come up with nothing significant to say about today. Maybe it’s that
I’m becoming progressively more tired each day, as I stay up later and later to
write these things (which does not bode well for next week when classes start
again). Maybe it’s that spending time with another person in the car means that
I’m spending the driving days having actual human interaction, instead of the
kind of pure reflection that tends to produce the best posts here (although
when I make the last 2 legs of the journey alone tomorrow and Monday, I’ll have
plenty of time to myself). Not that I’m complaining – I’m sure this trip has
been better than if I had taken it by myself. It’s just that it may not lend
itself as well to blogging.
