Greetings, gentle reader,
I am briefly in possession of Brian’s writing device, so this will be short. I know others have accounted for our miles and stopovers and weather and such. Let me simply say that having Brian along on this trip has put in relief both the joy of adventuring and the specialty of friendship. He sees a loon and says, "Al, look at that loon," and by god, there is a loon.
My point is simply that sharing this experience enriches it and allows for savoring detail in ways that a solo expedition precludes. We are accommodating each other's quirks and foibles with ease and consideration except when he does one or two things that are best left unmentioned.
I must thank those of you who have pledged but have yet to see your contributions registered on the pledge paddle; we'll correct that oversight in the coming days, and you can expect a natty thank-you note when we arrive home. But in brief, thank you!
Gotta go....tonight is karaoke night at the lock 17 bistro, and I only know Motown. Not much call for that in these parts, dontcha' know.
Big ups, pulling for home!
Mr. Frei
