this seems extreme, even for a 17-year-old duck, but consider that
(a) I'm 10" tall, so every girl is taller than me, and (b)
we drove around college towns today. During class hours. Ooh-la-la. |

Yes, Virginia, the day's updates were again delayed by a lack of decent internet connectivity from Seekonk's Motel 6, and the cord was too short to try dial-up. (Even though dial-up is nearly as much fun as dentistry without painkillers, but I would have done it for my fan, er, fans.)
And this just in... the day is essentially lost. Darn it. But not wanting to piece together a second-rate update after the fact, I'll put in the highlights, and we'll call it even. Deal? Good.
| 6:00am | We got up when the alarm went off, just for the fun of it. |
| 6:38am | The Travel Party hit Highway 3, and minutes later, missed the exit. |
| 7:40am | Four miles and an hour later, we were out of the gridlock and heading the right direction. |
| 10:11am | We hit Springfield, Massachusetts and find that it, too, isn't the inspiration for the home of The Simpsons. But, it's also a place where spouse-rentals are possible. |
| 10:47am | Hartford, Connecticut - the state capital of Connecticut. |
| 11:29am | Meriden, Connecticut |
| 11:53am | Waterbury, Connecticut |
| 12:57pm | Bridgeport, Connecticut |
| 2:08pm | New Haven, Connecticut - the home of Yale. |
| 3:17pm | New London, Connecticut |
| 4:03pm | Mystic, Connecticut - they have the real Mystic Pizza, and it really exists -- it's not just a movie y'know. |
| 4:53pm | Warwick, Rhode Island |
| 5:28pm | Providence, Rhode Island - the state capital of Rhode Island. |
| 8:10pm | We landed in our room at the Motel 6 in Seekonk, Massachusetts and I got down to doing my thing... although there's virtually no proof of it now that it's 24 hours later and I'm re-writing just this vague update. We found a Wal-Mart and found that, in a cutting edge of retail services, they do gift registry here. |
| 11:48pm | Updates done, bathing complete, and now I'm off to sleepy eyes. |
