Hi Rich,

Well, I'll tell you, sweetheart, it's SO much easier driving DOWN to Florida than it has been coming back! Today I drove about 300 miles; it took us about 6 hours between the stops and the traffic, and I was really hurting the last hundred miles. I felt sleepy and a little out of it, inattentive. It's not a good way to drive so I'm glad that I decided to make reservations where I did.

I called Barbara (a friend from WidowNet in Alexandria, VA)to ask for directions to her place. She offered to let us stay with her. Well ... it's 398 miles from here to her house, and I'm just not sure I can manage that. I think I will call and make a reservation for 300 miles. I may even make one for New Jersey, too, and cancel it if need be.

I called Teddy, too, and talked to him for about a half hour here. He started taking a CAD class but really hasn't been getting enough sleep this week so he felt that our visit on Monday would be easier than Sunday. Me, too, and we always have a reason to get going by 8--so that Teddy can get some sleep. We flirted a little again and he said it was always his fantasy to fly an F-14. He heard that Great Adventure had that ride but he's a little afraid of it, that it might not be well maintained. He said he might feel differently if someone went with him and so I said I would go with him. He said, "You would? Then I just might consider it." I told him I might dig my fingers into his shoulders and he laughed and said that the thought of the ride scared him too so I said well, then I would hold his hand. So I guess I will be seeing more of Teddy. I like him, Rich. He seems like he could be a good friend. Well, we'll see, huh?

And where did that little orange pill go? The one that was in my vitamin bottle, the one I showed the kids ... the one I thought belonged to you? It doesn't seem to be there any more!

I got ahold of Phil and Miriam, our neighbors, and let them know we'd be a day or two delayed. That was fine with them. They said they've seen Mousie, but not Amber. I think Amber's been hiding on them. They said Mouse comes right out to play with them. She seemed a more sociable kitty than Amber is anyway and I'm assuming Amber's just hiding.

Ordered some Pizza hut pizza for dinner. I just didn't feel like getting back into the car anymore this evening. I have some wash I'm doing for Heidi and otherwise, this evening should just be pretty laid back. In another couple of days, we'll be home. The vacation sure went really fast!

see you later, my love,
Me
