Survived yesterday’s marathon drive across Kansas and into Missouri. We got into John’s house here in St. Louis at around midnight, hanging out a little longer to catch our breath and watch Mall Rats.
This morning, we took Justin’s car for an oil change and full detail for the drive back to Chicago. Forgoing lunch around the house to save our appetites for the park.
We’re picking up John’s friend, Joe, in a few minutes and heading to Busch Stadium for this afternoon’s 2 o’clock game between the Cardinals and the Cubs. Though it’s hot, so far it feels bearable.
Afterwards, we’re heading back to John’s, hopping in the pool and barbecuing.
After a busy week making our way across the country, it’ll be great to just relax and cool off.
The Phallic Road Trip 
Hold on. Isn’t Eugenia your boss, technically? I’m teiplathlcaley sending buckets of pity. And a margerita. A mental margerita just for you.[And don’t forget that dashing yankee who is also a contributer. He’s sure is somthing.]
