The road

To quote the great Tenacious D, "The road is fuckin' hard."

For those of you in interest, here's an itinerary of the moving festivities:


DAY ONE:  Lincoln, NE.  Everything loaded out of the Minneapolis house on Portland (single tear), I trek down to Lincoln.  Brother-in-law Brett and wife Jo will be using a lot of our  furniture in their new house.  Which is nice.  They'll be storing the rest somewhere in their abode.  While in the process of completely re-furbishing it.  They're almost as crazy as we are, methinks.

DAY TWO: Still Lincoln.  Pack the small truck.  Breathe.  

DAY THREE:  Chicago, IL.  The first of the four baseball towns.  I'll get dinner with Chuck and Carrie (old friends from Georgia) I hope, before the 7:00 Brewers @ Cubs.  I've never been to Wrigley, and I can't wait.  Tracy will be super awesome and will be my first floor-crash of the trip.

DAY FOUR:  Cleveland, OH.  My boys, the Minnesota Twins, have decided that they're going to be super nice and allow me to see one more of their games while I'm in transit.  I don't know if it's going to be really fun or crazy to cheer for the Twins in Cleveland, but considering the Indians are well out of the pennant race, it should be harmless.  I'll keep to myself.

DAY FIVE:  Pittsburgh, PA - Baltimore, MD.  Day game at PNC Park in Pittsburgh against the Dodgers.  I've heard nothing but great things about PNC, and seeing a day game will be nice.  After that, it's off to Bryan and Barb's in Baltimore.

DAY SIX: Washington, DC.  Melissa's brother Bryan and I will score some cheap seats to see the Washington Nationals play. I don't know who they're playing.  But the Nationals suck, they have a gorgeous new park, and it's Fireworks night.  Should be fun.

DAY SEVEN: Astoria, NY.  Finally there.  See the wife.  Whom I miss.  A lot.  We get to move our stuff in to the apartment, but not our bodies...  yet.  Anyway.  I should be tanned, bearded, road-weary and happy to be there.
