We’ve been busy. Not doing Triathlon stuff.

I threw T in the truck, and we road tripped huge the day he got out of school.

We went on a Mighty River Trek. We drove through 17 states, only 6 on the same roads, and did a big circle route down to the Mississippi in Mississippi, up to the Missouri, and up the Ohio, back home.

We swam in all three rivers; I stood with one foot in Old Man Mississip’ and one in the Ohio, at the same time. I plowed the Trucoma through the Big Mo’. We ate "Throwed Rolls" grilled bologna in a restaurant, camp food, fried chicken, and bugs.and a gallon jug of sweet tea. Celebrities dropped like flies, and a tree fell in my driveway at home, where I could do nothing, (Thanks Mark for moving it)

We went to Memphis and avoided Graceland like it was Neverland, but did see a cool statue of BB King. We went to the top of the Gateway to the West, (the Arch),

in St Louis. We saw the Louisville Slugger plant, and Churchill Downs, got hazed as a tourist, and drove down Mohammed Ali Blvd. And we spent a fantastic day at a water park on the Mississippi just outside of St Louis. We Geocached in 5 or 6 different states, much to T's chagrin. Got a parking ticket that was spotted from the top of the Gateway Arch, and a speeding ticket for 56 in a 45 coming off the highway in Cairo Illinois.

Good luck collecting that fine…dick.

We are back, and fine, and I am finally rested from it all.
