chelidonIt's 11pm, and I'm just getting to Buffalo now, which means I likely won't hit my stopping point, London (Ontario, that is) until 1am-ish, assuming a smooth border-crossing. Ugh. Thank goodness for Tim Hortons and large coffee.
But, well, as long and grueling a day as this has been, I love road trips, and I love long-distance driving. It's such a more human-scale way to travel, compared to the just totally unpleasant nastiness (particularly these days) of air travel. Next best (after walking/biking, then driving) is train travel.
Saying goodbye to Lovely Housemates a mere short day after just seeing them again after their week away of raucous mayhem in New Orleans is a bummer, but I get to see my Ravishing Partner again on Thursday, we get to share a camp together for the first time since...hmm, last time we were at Winter Camp -- and we get to road-trip back home afterwards, which I am eagerly anticipating. I feel quite blessed to have a partner who I look forward to be cooped up in a car with for about 2 days straight. So much time to talk, and always so much to talk about! :) We're going to get to take another road trip together to Canadia in about a month, an old friend (the original founder of MidAtlantic/SpiralHeart Reclaiming) asked us to come up and teach a weekend on ritual planning, so off we go! Really, it's a good excuse to take another trip together.
Okay, enough of a road break for me, time to get back on my way, then a wee bit of sleep and a very early start -- tomorrow is 13+ hours on the road again. Have a week full of delightful surprises, and chat again later next week!

Date: 2008-02-29 01:59 pm (UTC)Sure, we'll be around -- I've got to make a run to pick up some wood sometime Sat morning, and I think Claudia, Forest and Angelica are going out to some kind of night-time snowshoe/music/bonfire thing out by Lebanon somewhere on Sat night. If you're going to swing by, give a call before you come, though, to make sure we didn't decide to bail for Salt Hill or something. Also, looks like possibly nasty weather this weekend, be safe!
Funny, I had a dream last night where I was in a public place (bar, I think) with someone, might have been you, and saw a big bearded guy who the person I was with decided he wanted to talk to, and it turned out the guy was a Horde brother. Funny, your comment about Madison must have jogged some brain cells about the Horde.
