weekend summary

in ad form:

990 miles by car: $110
387 miles in a fully-loaded 26' u-haul: $780
ten assistants: free
getting dad closer to his grandkids: priceless


in prose(?) form:

leaving...
plans & midnight,
"amarillo by morning"
the dark northwest flow
interrupted every half-hour.

returning...
air & caffeine,
"lemmings in shiny metal boxes"
the first blue of dawn touches
the sodium-lit haze over dallas.

    Glad you're back home, and safe.

    I hope all is well with dad.

    thanks.

    everything has gone better than anybody expected - including selling the old house, without having to "spruce it up" or worry about the market.

    there were definitely "showers of blessing" for all of us that weekend. :D

    A lot of nice things in your "ad." I enjoyed that.
