Takeoff
Finishing up some chores tomorrow and heading to Madison NJ,our traditional jumping off point,courtesy of the ever welcoming Larry Ross. That is one mean driveway however. (Family members,picture Harold swerving the white Caddy out of there...) Then plan to progress south down through Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland through the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel to Norfolk Virginia.

It is good that you are patterning this blog after the great television shows of our times. I look forward to your many exploits, especially those of Air Gordon. Zoe will be comparing notes. Have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteS--
You're leaving NOW!?! I haven't finished my "Stuff You Need to Bring Back to Steve" list! I thought we talked about this, remember? It's not all about YOU.
ReplyDeleteJeeeeee-e-e-z. Okay, here's a start, anyway: There's a guy in Hershey, PA (Stuart Fartspark, at 57 Day Street. Isn't that awful? If your name was Fartspark wouldn't you change it?? Gad, how bad would it have to be?) with a 1974 Honda 550cc motorcycle. Just pay him what he wants--you know I'm good for it--and get it on the way down so nobody else does. It's listed to be sold "as is," which is EBay-speak for leaks gas and oil (just gas would be "needs tlc," and just leaking oil would be "excellent condition.") So throw a couple pages of the Cape Crud Times over your mattress before you toss the bike in the trailer. Awesome!
I see you're officially in the blogosphere! I hate to break it to you, but this means you gotta write something. And then write something more.
As usual, I can help: First clear your mind of the day's worries and highway road-rage and breathe deeply the air in your tent. (Insert fart joke here.) Let out your breath and begin typing like a crazy-person. Letter after letter peppered with spaces and punctuation as fast as you can with blurring speed hit the caps lock for a while and don't forget the numbers and those things over them. Keep going, dammit, this is your blog and as your fingers fly close your eyes and let the screen fill, FILL with your creation. Don't look at it, for the love of god don't look at it! Type till you can't feel your fingers and with your last ounce of motor-control hit the send key!!! SEND!!!!
Uncle Steve --don't forget the bike.
I like Swampbloggers as your blog name! Welcome to my humble abode. I'm happy to have you here sitting right across from me as you are right now. Why say something directly to you when I can write something on your swampy-blog? Tomorrow morning you'll be on your way south. Happy trails!

ReplyDeleteYou'll get this too late for you to turn around and come back and by this time, you've probably already realized that you left your trusty Boston Red Sox cigarette lighter here at my house. I hope you can make it through the rest of the trip without it! Not to worry. I'll take good care of it until your return. Keep on truckin!
ReplyDeleteOk so there is no confusion. Lucy has never had her own e-mail address which is odd considering she spends infinitely more time with this contraption than I do. All posts will say "Mark said". If there
ReplyDeleteis poor grammer and even poorer speling it is a Mark post. Otherwise assume the post was made by the former prep school English major.
