On the road again

B and I managed to steal two weeks each from our employers, and we will use said weeks for pure punishment and terror.

Yes, we are going to Homer to see family.

B's youngest sister is graduating from high school next Monday. Aside from that, I plan on gaining 20 pounds by eating exclusively at The Glacier Driver In.

Oh, greasy Glacier Burger and chocolate peanut butter milkshake, you will be mine.

B will be driving his motorcycle down and I will be following in the car. He doesn't have a windshield on his bike, and it's currently raining. Should be a fun trip for him; I will wave from my car with a cabin-fevered dog, iPod, sunroof, and a choice of heat OR air conditioning.

And, in the spirit of actually getting things done, I have made public my On the Road Again Ta-Da List. Why would you care that I need to give the dog a haircut? I have no idea. But you might. She is pretty cute, after all.

Other things I want to try and accomplish when down there include photographing my father's automobile graveyard, avoiding chores at my in-laws', riding my bike down the length of The Spit and back, sleeping in, swimming in the ocean, stealing/borrowing a boat for a trip across the bay, and shooting the shit with my brother.

There is much shit to be shot, so that might take up my entire time. But really, there may be no better way to spend it.
