A Little Background...

Erin is getting some terrible news about her pet turtle as I sit here, deciding what (and how much) to write tonight. We are sitting on separate beds at an AmeriHost Inn somewhere in Pennsylvania. It started raining just a few miles into Ohio and has only gotten worse since then. The AmeriHost is wonderful, however, with a heated pool, hot tub and sauna (all of which we've taken advantage of) and the sound of the rain pouring down outside now just feels relaxing. Apparently it will be like this for the next two days (northeast repercussions of Hurricane Francis).

Since I'm here, and the wireless internet seems to be holding up, I'll fill in some of the details of our fabulous story. First, Missoula: as we said, we met up with Jeremy. He was staying at the Days Inn so we just booked a room there ourselves and took advantage of his fantastic hospitality. Which is to say, we got ripped at the WyWest casino bar next-door to the motel. So of course we left Missoula quite a bit later than we had hoped. Jeremy informed us of a little cafe in Bozeman, Montana which had wireless intenet, so we headed there. Hence the first roadtrip post. So imagine us, exhausted and pissy, finally rolling out of Bozeman at 4:30 pm looking forward to another 300 miles, only to have our tire drop its tread 5 miles out of the city.

I'd like to take a moment to thank the good people at AAA for their prompt response time, their friendly and helpful manner, and more importantly, for not asking me for any money after replacing the bum tire with the spare. You're the best.

So we drove carefully back into Bozeman and bought a brand new tire from the local Firestone people (thanks to you guys, too). Around 6:30 we hit the road again finally and drove until we feared for our lives. Of course that was days ago, and seems like weeks. Plenty more has happened that I will have to post about later (with photos, too!) but I'll give you a few little teasers: back-alley katana fight, giant reflective bean, togas, grasshoppers, and police officers. (I'm just kidding about one of those, but you'll have to guess which one.)

For now we're going to check out what's on this big old TV, and get some sweet, comfy, shut-eye. Hope you all are well.

why are separate beds emphasized? Hmmm... Too bad about the turtle.

'Cause see, we've been sleeping in cheap motels, and on borrowed futons and this is the first time that we've had our own beds. It's a pretty big deal. Neither of us kicks or makes a whole lot of noise, but it'll be nice to stretch out tonight. The best part is that we paid for a single (read: cheap) room, and the cool-ass chick at the front desk bumped us up without even saying anything. We feel like royalty; it's lovely.

C'mon, everyone knows there's no such thing as a grasshopper.
