Me to a coworker, in response to a discussion about vacations: "Well I took 48 vacations this weekend! ... I count them by the hour."
In the spirit such mini-vacations, I will be taking about 216 of them centered on the week of July 23rd. I will be driving to Colorado, probably via Kansas, and returning to Illinois, probably via Nebraska. I feel an urgent need to get *away from everything* for a while. I'll be seeing a mish-mash of things culled from Roadside America and Cinema Treasures that most people probably won't care about but I'll tell you about them anyway as I work on my itinerary.
The only things that would make the trip better would be the presence of my partner (who would be miserable) and a companion good dog (which I do not have in my life at present). The dog-shaped hole in my heart that Piper left has been slow to heal, and I would have loved to have her with me on this trip, the way I had Kuma on another, years ago.
