    The day is upon us

    We are finally leaving Las Vegas.

    Devie's last day at that shithole casino was last week...mine is tonight. Everything is off the walls, the POD is fully paid for and will be here monday, Dev's car will be sold monday, all our doctors appointments are done, we have a downtown apartment secured in Rockland, Maine (considered the lobster capital of the world and home to the North Atlantic Blues Festival), Devie already has a job at the hospital there, cats have all their shots and shaves and are ready to travel, the route is all mapped out, the final packing will be done early this week, among many other things on our long list. We will be on the road thursday evening, headed for Kingman and the 40 East...its go time! :-)

    Its been years...like, 30 years for me, 16 for Dev. We will never come back to Vegas, but we do plan on coming back out west for trips to places we like, namely Encinitas (maybe catch up with Carl finally), Flagstaff/Sedona (visit with Eddie), NoCal to see the redwoods, New Mexico, etc...just no more Vegas! A new life begins now.

    I will miss the caliber of musicians i play with, they have been my family for 8 years now and i dont think i will find people like that again soon, but a promise is a promise. I said i wouldnt turn 50 in THIS place. Promise kept.

    Ill take a lot of pictures and try to check in as soon as i can as we will have our laptops with us. Plus, ill be doing the 'check-in' thing on FB for those of you also on there.

    So here it is, off we go!

    Right now its 93 to Kingman, 2 nights in Flag, then overnighting in Amarillo, then on to Clarksville, Arkansas. From there its Kingston, TN, then straight up the 81 into Carlisle, PA to spend a couple of days with mom...then the 9 1/2 hour push into Rockland....all with 4 cats in the back seat.

    I-81 goes to TN? I didn't know that.

    Oh well, I was hoping you guys would swing close enough to buy you a cup of coffee or whatever.

    I-81 branches off of I-40 just east of Knoxville. Made that exact same run more times than I can count (without taking my shoes off anyway) .

    Have a good trip, Adam—keep 'er between the ditches and shiny side up! Hope to be able to meet up with you in Encinitas one if these days. Coincidentally, I'm on my way there to make a delivery to a restaurant as I write this.

    Safe trip and thank you for taking the time to give me the low down on Las Vegas living.
    We never had weather like this before they started messing around with that internet stuff.
