Medora, ho!


Estimated Time of Departure for Destination Alaska: Saturday, May 27, 2006, 7:00 A.M. CST !!!

How is it possible that it's been 15 days since I retired and I'm scampering around like Barry Sanders trying to get packed and out the door the day before my departure??? ... I certainly can't complain though; I had a wonderful time in Texas and Louisiana visiting with my friend and family. I've been back in the Twin Cities since Monday and have been busy shopping and making arrangements to be gone. That's all done now and I need to start packing the car.

In all of the chaos, I had time for one last sail on Lake Harriett this afternoon and I will grill and sit down to watch Francisco Liriano, the Minnesota Twins' hot new rookie hurler, strike out all of the Seattle Mariners tonight.

My destination tomorrow is Medora, North Dakota, so I can spend a couple days exploring Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Medora is located 565.84 miles away from my apartment. My software tells me I can cover that asphalt in 8 hours and 19 minutes. I'll bet I'll get there faster than that.

I'll start updating my blog more frequently now, assuming I have coverage.
