So Saturday was a long fucking day. It took us nearly 14 hours to get from Atlanta to Joplin. The Mustang ran great, and it wasn't a bad drive, it just took forever. We arrived safely though and it's always great to see my sister and her family. My nephew Bennett turns 5 on the 23rd so one of his birthday parties was today. There was a lot of sugar pumped into a lot of little kids and you can just imagine what the end result of that was. Still, everyone had a lot of fun. I quickly became the reigning expert on all things "Star Wars" and felt a bit like Yoda by the time it was all over. Everyone's favorite question seemed to be, "Cause why?" and I was the one they kept asking it of. Well, they are now all up on their "Star Wars" lore and I feel the torch can safely be passed onto the next generation of "Star Wars" fans. I also spent a large part of the evening affixing stickers to Bennett's new ARC-170 Republic Fighter. It's a very cool ship, but it's assembly was much more involved than the X-Wing I had as a kid. All-in-all it was a good day. I'm already missing some of my people back in Atlanta, and I really miss my horse, but it feels liberating to finally be heading West. Well, it's a long drive tomorrow so I should get some sleep. I'll try and post again tomorrow night but who knows if I'll be able to get online in Middle Of Nowhere, New Mexico.
