We spent most of the day in Oklahoma City after an acceptable stay in one of their airport hotels. It had one building that was much taller than the rest: We went into an open episcopal church and met a…
Day 100: Into Oklahoma
Before we left Dallas, Robbi’s parents kindly treated us to breakfast at an Ameri-Mex restaurant, which was the sort of place where you could very easily have some Tabasco to put on your eggs. We opted for pancakes as we…
Day 99: Back to Work, Back to School
Problem One: Video editing is time consuming and benefits from an office environment. Problem Two: Like most adults, my friend, Robbi, works so it’s not that easy to see her. Answer: I’ll go to Robbi’s work. And as she worked…
Day 98: Dallas, Texas
After a good night with our friend Robbi’s lovely parents in Lancaster, we headed back into Dallas during daylight hours. Dallas was a lovely city during the day as well, and just immense. Robbi sent us to her church in…

Day 95 Part 2: Austin, Texas

Day 90: Into the Texas Countryside
We started out by seeing Alamo Ranch, the housing development that had been recommended to us the night before. We had been looking forward to seeing new housing in Texas for a long time. We were told in Delaware in…
