Day 70
Mom takes the wheel
June 4th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
As a mother of a son about your age, I am really glad your mother has had the opportunity to visit you and be with you on your walk.
So…not ‘walking’ for day…how did that feel? Were you itching to get back on the road? Did you have a two hour lunch in a diner? Did you nap in mom’s hotel room or go see a movie? Maybe you walked out of Minnesota for a little bit and that’s why mom had to take a bus back to catch a flight? I hope you’re journaling along the way.
Matt, Did your Mom buy you some new shoes as planned? What kind of shoes do you wear? It’s gotta be the shoes.
Bye Mom!
Way Cool!
“Your mother is the best friend you’ll ever have”
A quote from my father. I miss him and his wisdom.
This is among the wisest statements I have ever read. And I turn 50 tomorrow, so I’ve been reading for a long, long, LONG time.
Your father was a wise, insightful, and generous man.
I’m sure you miss him, but clearly – his wisdom lives on. In his son.
That looks like a mural of Che Guevara on the graffiti wall.. he was quite the journey man himself
My day is complete! And it looks like the day stayed sunny for you. As if it wouldn’t. Nice Job Mom.
