Well, the day I haven’t exactly been looking forward to has finally arrived. I’ll be heading out in about five hours (shooting for an ETD of 10:00 AM), with an estimated time of arrival at about 5:00 this evening (give or take a couple hours for getting lost and whatnot). If all goes well, I’ll be moved into my room and on the Internet before dark. I sure hope the A/C is working – supposed to be 90 in DC today; have I mentioned how much I hate hot weather?

I have last Friday’s Marc Show to listen to yet (that should get me to Binghamton or so), and was able to download a few audiobooks and other shit (including the 1938 season of “The Shadow”), so I shouldn’t have to resort to jeebus radio or NASCAR or anything on the way down.

It’s going to be strange being away from everybody, and all my stuff (my rubber chicken, hanging skeleton, Marvin the Martian coffee mug, Guy Noir bobblehead, plus the wooden ships my dad made). I keep telling myself that this will all go quickly, and be over before I know it (which I’m sure is true, but from this end of things, it sure feels like a long, lonely couple of months ahead). Then again, it’s a great excuse for not having to work around the house all summer, so I’ll have to console myself with that.

Anyhow, I’ll be bringing my camera, and maybe I’ll get some interesting pictures to post. I’m bringing my webcam, too, so if you’re really lucky, you might get to see live video of a dorm room. Not too exciting, unless I find some catholic school girls to party with (we’ll have to keep it a secret from my wife, of course).

Otherwise, y’all enjoy your Memorial Day, and I’ll hope to get back to you later tonight.

Bye.
