[Insert a Bill and Ted movie title here]

So, I woke up in the city that doesn't sleep. Hoorah! It wasn't in my own place though...

Helene and I drove the 12 hours from Cincinnati to New York via West Virgigina (one more state off the 50 list), Penny and the Jerse-ster. Also, though quite crowded, it was fun to drive through the Lincoln tunnel. It reminded me of fifth grade and my obsession with that little-known disaster movie called Daylight. Man, that movie is good. However, as I see it now, there are many similarites between this Lincoln-Tunnel-Explodes flick and Poseiedon Adventure. Why do my favorite characters always die because they get hypothermia or die a water related death? Poor Shelly Winters.

I am very blessed that my car did not get broken into with all the crap in there (and a TV). It is all empty now, well, it is now full of groceries, an ironing board and my N64, but you get the point.

I am in Connecticut at my parent's house for the last time. They are moving all the way back to Arizona near Tucson. It is funny how things come full circle or the fact my family always leaves when I move near. Austyn and D are also moving with their fam back to Utah so D-dawg can go to graduate school at BYU. SURPRISE!

I am excited to be in New York and to see where my dreams take me (doesn't everyone say that?). I would like to get a job to help the time pass before NYU's String Quartet Program, but I feel the three weeks from the end of June to the middle of July will cause companies to not hire me. Maybe I should just stick to the plan and practice viola and slave at violin! Should call for a most excellent adventure!
