Live from Virginia
Well, I made it to my destination. I can't tell you how much fun the trip alone was.
And, very educational. Did you know:
In Ohio you can't pass a state trooper even if he's going 15 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT!
In West Virginia, drivers lisence's are optional.
Pennsylvania still sucks, even if you're only there for 45 minutes.
Maryland state troopers love to sit and aim their radar detectors at cars coming down the mountains in full view of everyone. This apparantly, isn't meant to so much catch speeding drivers, as it is I guess to show people that going too fast down the mountains that they will be caught.
It took me only about 13 hours to get here, which meant I got here around hour 25 of being awake. I'm saying that now, because that is my excuse for most of my actions the rest of the first night that I was here. And, I don't know why, but despite being awake for as long as I had been, I was wide awake all the way through the drive and even a few hours after I got to the house.
When I got here, Megan and Tai weren't the only adults present. Surprisingly (or maybe not so much had I thought it through) Kathy and her boyfriend(?) Brad were here as well. Of course, no one told me this before hand, and Megan and Kathy were outside when I went inside seconds after getting here because, well, it was a long trip and I hadn't peed since Indiana (I have bladder of steel). So, after my bathroom moment, I walked into the front room from around the kitchen. As I walked in, it seemed everyone was present. Megan and Kathy were sitting on the couch, and Tai was standing there talking to them with his back to me. So, I laid down my bag, reached around "Tai" and kissed him on the head. That's when I noticed, "Gee, Tai got a little shorter than I remember..." As I was thinking that, Kathy utters, in her flat tone, "Jon, Brad. Brad, Jon."
Yeah, I'd kissed the wrong guy. Amazing, despite being a redneck from the backwoods of Tennessee, he didn't seem to mind that much. If I were Dany, I'd just assume he was gay. I, personally, would think he's just being polite. That, and he didn't have a gun handy.
So, I got time to spend with Darcy and Alex when I first got here. Both were far too hyper. I took it in stride and just waited for everything to cool down before fatigue really set in. And, boy did it ever.
I don't remember falling asleep, but I remember waking up. Perrin was covering me up in blankets because he thought I would be cold. God's, I've missed him. Alex is growing by leaps and bounds now. It's impossible to keep up anymore. We're having a great time and I'm getting to spend time with Tai and Megan and that's the other reason I came, so I feel like my purpose has been justified in this trip.
We leave in a few hours. I'm looking forward to the trip. I'm going to enjoy talking with Alex alone. We have a lot of catching up to do.
I'll let you know when we get back.
