An evening in Syracuse, gorging myself at the Dinosaur with old friends, telling stories about auto adventures … it was a good night.

Morning brought a little dusting and that crisp light I only see here. Bitter, biting, just like the air.

The journey started late, but lunch came in South Carolina, dinner in Virginia (which a Christmas Cake chaser) and a caffeine stop in West Virginia. Pennsylvania for the evening stop.

Not open, unfortunately …

We’ve had some rain … more on the way.

Close to the holidays and the kids are not so patient anymore.

Makes you wonder what was there …

Last day on campus … I hope. Grades are in, drives are backed up. Hoping to not think about work for at least one 30 minute span over break.
