Today I, I embark on a journey that will knock of number 3 on my "List of Shit to do Before I Die" list: Drive cross country.
My sister is moving out to Cali, and I'm taking her. I've been stoked for this trip ever since she asked me to go, and god damnit it's go time.
The first leg of our trip will take us to Nashville, TN. There we will spend an extra day to see the sights and enjoy the vibe.
From there, we head down to Bossier, Louisiana and stay with a friend of Erika's for the night. Alas, nowhere near New Orleans. I'll get back there some day.
After Bossier is a 567 mile burn across the Texas panhandle, ending with a crash landing in Roswell, New Mexico. I'm thinking that it is here that I will find my real family, and finally figure out why I never seem to fit in.
Tempe, AZ is next in line. There we will stay with Miriam, an old family friend, for an extra day. Laundry and fun will certainly be had by all. I almost went to ASU, so finally getting to Arizona will give me a taste of what could have been. I'm sure it will taste sandy.
Finally, we will take the last leg of our trip to Los Angeles, CA. A 300 mile burn down I-10 W, just barely grazing the southern tip of Nevada (sigh... I'll make the run to Las Vegas one day), heading towards the sunset like a mother fucking cowboy. There, I bid farewell to my sister which I feel is going to be difficult to do. Especially considering she is going to be living with the only Mormons in California.
Farewell for now, we leave soon. Updates will be as frequent as possible, and they will also be on my Blog: http://fearandloathinginthe21stcentury.blogspot.com/
This is for several reasons. One: I have the digital camera and want to put pictures up next to the words. Two: a shameless quest to up my post count past 6.
So, read on my friends. Enjoy this chronicle of "The Salomon Children Go to Cali", as I am sure it will only be interesting to me. But I expect you guys to be nice and lie about liking it.
Love,
- Rev.

I expect you to return on a motorcycle, wearing an iron face mask, and brandishing a shotgun. Do not let me down sir.
ReplyDeleteI'm obviously the worst heterosexual lifemate ever in the history of heterosexual lifemates since I knew my favorite roommate ever was moving, but didn't realize how soon it really was (I know she said January but like I said, I suck) OR that she would be living with Mormons. Hahaha. That's fantastically appropriate.
