Wednesday, August 12

Well, the vacation is drawing to a close, and the members of the family have slipped into a somewhat lethargic state of mind, a little disappointed at the vacation's end. Regardless, we've had a great time, and that's enough to make me happy. Anyway, we averaged around 480 miles today, driving from Shreveport, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama. Not that much changed in the scenery, and I really don't suspect it will over the next few days. The only thing that will be sidelining the interstate will be trees, all the way until we get home. That part makes me kind of glum, considering that the flat openness of the Great Plains area made me feel free. This isn't my last posting, but it's getting quite close. I have a feeling the last one will be on Friday, but don't be sad, because I've decided to start a blog for reviewing recent products in the field of electronics. More on that later on. Today, in addition to buying Philip a new pair of shoes, we went to Olive Garden for dinner. Aside from that, there is nothing left to say, so, tonight's closing will be in Latin: Vale et bonus noctis! By the way, I did not use a translator for that phrase. Instead, I used two years of Latin class to aid my own translation of the phrase.
