Too nervous to sleep? Have I forgotten anything? More importantly - what if all the stores in America are closed, and we can't get something that we really, really need? This is why the decision to bring along 24 cans of Mountain Dew seems, to me, to be a good one. Plus, you know, we'll drink it... and then the car will get lighter as we drive. By Kansas City, we may even have to hit a (gasp!) Wal-Mart for refills!
Emily is great with lists and checklists, and categories, and sorting, and organizing. And while I was off working tonight (and packing, way too late), she was organizing all of the essentials - the big plastic box filled with a trash can and Costco-sized packages of beef jerky, the box-o-chargers-and-cords, aforementioned suitcase full of beverages (Gatorade, water, etc.)
Let the journey begin!

Next stop....SCURVY-VILLE!
Word of advice: if you're going to pick up a hitchhiker, and he or she is wearing a shirt with the words "mental institution" or something to the effect of "correctional facility"... you may want to pass. Believe me, I learned the hard way.
Just back in L.A. from Columbus, Ohio (Ya know, they're a little rabid for their OSU Buckeyes there.) where my friend Pete had the Garmin. Like DSL, TiVo, and the Best Foods squeeze bottle, it's a life-changer. And how appropriate that the lovely female voice option has been named "Emily." Instead of saying "recalculating," she could say "Colin, you idiot, you missed the *(&%-ing exit! Now, we're behind! Way to (*&%-ing go! Alright, hold on...let me look this up..." I guess "recalculating" is better.
