Westing on I-90 in Massachusetts toward Byron, New York for the NE Trek Rally that begins on Wednesday. I am hoping for a hat trick: the first person to attend the rallies of all four Trek Clubs. The NW in Oct. ’10, the SW in Jan. ’11, the SE in Feb. ’12.
Then to visit clusters of family and friends in Jersey/Philly and the greater DC area, followed by a lazy lumber down the Blue Ridge Parkway to watch the annual fireworks of autumn leaves from atop the spine of the Appalachian mountains.
A Year on the Road 
Finally was able to read your post. You’re on your way! More adventures await you. Looking forward to the next chapters of – A Year on the Road.
It’s already – Two Years on the Road Beginning, isn’t it?
Al, as always refreshing. After all the disturbing right or left postings flying in my face, I needed a practical refresher on where we have been. Thanks for keeping me grounded in a post 9/11 world.
