More than a week past my very last birthday BBQ, things are well back in order around the JMD household. During the BBQ, I brought up my desire to plan something big for my roundy next year. The general consensus was “that sounds like a cool idea”. Then I threw it open to the floor…. Read more »
Actually, it looks like it will be less than that. Based on the remaining bills trickling in, it looks like I will come in well short of my adjusted budget. So short, in fact that it will have run less than $1 per mile for the whole trip. In my last stopover, my friends were… Read more »
Great North American Baseball Road Trip shapes up to be a driving and arriving bear, so I’m squeezing out a daily blog in advance of my expected return to the hotel sometime around 2 am (to take off for a 9 hour marathon to Minnesota no later than 5 hours later). It’s the White Sox… Read more »
As Buckaroo Banzai said, “No matter where you go…there you are.” My day began under thunder, lightning and rain in the small town of Hot Springs, South Dakota and ended about 11 hours later in the smaller town of Independence, Iowa. The ride was mostly uneventful (good), except for the very early parts during the… Read more »
Day 4 of the Great North American Baseball Road Trip was always going to be a bear. Right after a drive from Alabama and a late night with my friend, I was going to have to drive 4-5 hours to Arlington, watch the Rangers play (usually a minimum of 2.5 hours) and then drive the… Read more »
Stop number one on the Great North American Baseball Road Trip is in Jacksonville, Florida where I visited with two old working compadres from my previous life in Corporate America. These two gents, while giving me a heaping dose of friendly tsuris, have been great at keeping in touch with me in the six years… Read more »
Not the speed limit, silly. Most of the highways I’ll be on will be 10-15 mph above that speed (and that’s all – remember, I’m “law-abiding man”). I’m talking age, people. As in one day past 55 when I start the GNABRT next Thursday. (Technically, not true, as I only made it into May 27th originally… Read more »
I’m totally serious. When the thought of my Great North American Baseball Road Trip changed into probability (and shortly into reality), a friend of mine suggested I contact Major League Baseball or Subaru to see if they wanted to sponsor me. Later on, other friends and relatives had the same idea, but this guy was… Read more »
Over the five years and many hundred of blog posts on my website, I’ve held to a fairly regular irregular schedule. I work a daily blog for as many as all five weekdays and take the weekends off. I haven’t posted every day, as I have to find something that interests me to post first… Read more »
Two weeks. Jeez, only two weeks! I’m working through my “countdown task list” of the things I need to do before leaving my home for 2+ months. Today was cutting back the front jungle and creating as much room in the storage closet as possible. Soon, though, it will be the other jungle I have… Read more »
