Standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona

Here are the latest images from the long and winding road home to Chicago. Pat and Rachel are in front of the meteor crater in Arizona. I presume these are a few days old, but the cone of semi- silence has descended upon them. I expect there are a lot of "dead cell" zones, and not a lot of internet cafes on Route 66. There are stretches where the Interstate must call them back to rapid travel and truck stops. I have no idea where they are staying along the way- I imagine they are doing the budget hotel tour. That way, they can spend their savings on a real home once they get to Illinois.


The other picture is sort of self explanatory, though you will have to sing along- "it's a girl,my lord, in a flat bed Ford, slowing down to lake a look at me"...one of the the next lines is take it easy. Steve tells me Jackson Brown authored the lines, and the Eagles took them to the bank. Now I hope the kids follow this exhortation, and have a safe and wonderful trip.

We are on our way to Michigan, but the house is ready to welcome the weary travelers, whenever they arrive. I expect they would love to arrive without fanfare, finding clean sheets and a quiet house. They will need a few days to unwrinkle their bodies and recover from this
adventure. Life awaits!
