On the Road

Charleston is behind us. Elizabeth, caffeinated to the gills, is at the wheel. And I'm on the computer. This is the natural order.

The alarm woke us at 5:30a. I remember groggily asking E, "Is this it?" Of course, it was. Our friend Saye called and asked if he could take us to breakfast. This was a greatly welcomed act of kindness for what was expected to be a hug-free departure.

It's about 9:30a now, and we are forty miles from NC and TN shortly afterward. E thinks it's sad that we'll not take the well-worn I-26 to Rock Hill or Simpsonville anymore. Copper and I say good riddance.

Copper is in heaven. He hasn't gotten this much lap time since the couches were sold what feels like years ago. E will be at the wheel until noon when we'll trade off. We're due to arrive in Clarksville, TN at 3:18PM (that's after one time zone change). Check back, my friend, to see how far we can get today.
