Talk about this trip (1)
4-8-08 Well, here it is one year later, and even after I swore I would never do this again, here I am. No, actually, I never thought I'd have this opportunity, again. I'm hoping we'll re-create the magic for one more year!

We have another aggressive schedule, but, extended both in distance and time, this one's sure to be a thriller. Looking at the schedule, I'm going to have to anticipate the highlight being the trip to Page, hopefully seeing our buddy at the Sheraton(?) I hope he performs the same one man act (hour long) during lunch. His insights on global warming, gun control, vigilante justice, small town shenanigans,etc., were delightfully refreshing!

Another magic spot would be that tunnel ride through Zion, which I think we'll be going trough again? Having an opportunity to do that a third time last year, I can't wait to see it again. Actually, that whole ride through Zion is pretty awesome.

My three year old daughter Lindsey just informed me that she farted, on this spot, right here!!..!! I laughed, because I still think it's funny. I'll never get tired of that.

I guess it's time to slumber and dream of the endless ride through the desert, again.
