Here we are in Troy, Illinois, about 5 hours after leaving Parkville, Missouri, finally on the road trip for which this blog was initially created! We're on our way to see the US soccer team dominate the Gold Cup, starting tomorrow at 6PM when they take on Canada in the semi-finals. There are four in our motley crew -- me, Nate Dog, Big Dave, and Sugar T. (I would be The Ferg, yo).
Well so far we nearly forgot the food (thanks Nate), had our first death threat two minutes into the trip, experienced making a sandwich at 55 MPH ("I feel like Mr. Bean!"), got the call that one of us is now officially a Resident Alien (congrats Tewaney), sat on the bread and didn't realize it for an hour (thanks Tewaney), watched "Road Trip" with the audio piped through the van stereo, thoroughly insulted each other every chance we could, and learned how to snap pennies from the pro (Nate can bulls-eye an earlobe from twenty paces).
So now we're in the hotel watching the Royals play the Cardinals, drinking, belching, puzzling out how to open the cheese for our sandwiches, and basically being manly men as much as possible to compensate for the fact that four large guys have to share two queen beds.
Good thing we're all friends!
... I'm sleeping in the chair.

After the conversation between David M, Sugar T and me the other day, the only part that has me really worried is Tewaney sitting on the bread !!
ReplyDeleteThe rest sounds exactly like I thought it would with 4 zany guys on a road trip.
Hey you do have a cool nickname, sb! By the way the Sprint USB data card works perfectly with a Mac, truly plug-and-go. Sitting here in the back seat of the van right now, about 30 minutes out from the hotel. This wil make blogging easier, than the first post I did over my Blackberry. Posting pics now... stay tuned, more to come!
