And away!

In a few minutes I'm going to the airport to fly to the left coast, where I will fix bigbro and J1's car (a pink '96 Jetta called Elizabeth II), and take off on the grand tour of America. I've always wanted to drive across the country, and this summer is the summer when I'll do it.

I'll be updating as I go, for surely no trip is complete without some online whine.
