On the Road (Idiots'Books Vol II En Route)
As it turns out, my dad and his wife have installed a wireless network in their home, and so we are able to check in from the road. We left Chestertown at 10:00pm Saturday, drove through the night, and arrived here in Lee's Summit, MO (KC suburb) in time for dinner Sunday evening. I have been catching up with friends during the day and watching Duke play in the CBE Classic at night. Robbi has been in class all day yesterday and today learning about Web programming, her Christmas gift from Judy and my Dad.
Tomorrow morning we leave for Denver, another 11 hour drive. We will be welcoming my niece Kate home from two years in the Peace Corps. The entire family will be there. Does Kate welcome such a comprehensive homecoming? I'll let you know.
We left Chestertown so late Saturday in order to finish up production and envelope stuffing for Idiots'Books Volume Two, Death of Henry. We deposited the bulk of the mailing in the mailbox on the corner of High Street and Cross Saturday night and brought the non-standard mailings along in the car. In case you are wondering, if your postmark reads "Lee's Summit, MO", then we consider you nonstandard. A few people entered the IB craze midstream and were receiving two books, thus requiring additional postage. If you would like to be nonstandard next time around, feel free to order an additional book from the newly-revamped Idiots'Books site (PayPal ready), and you will be sure to receive a larger than usual package. Though it will not be mailed from Lee's Summit. That was a one-time deal.
Nothing more of note for now, other than that I returned to my high school this afternoon to visit with a few beloved teachers. The place looked good. New theater. The kids were young-looking and pimply. It was a little surreal.
