Yesterday we drove the rest of the way to Tom's home in Minneapolis --
about 350 miles. We had some extra time so took a more scenic route
in the afternoon -- mostly US 10 (through Wisconsin). It was a
beautiful drive! We all went out for dinner here -- another day of
excessive consumption :-).
Tom is teaching me Guitar Hero, which is really cool -- but I wish
they had some 50's and 60's music. I'm afraid I'm just not in their
target demographic :-). But I'm tempted!
I seem to have developed a nasty lower back problem of some sort --
maybe from sitting in the car too much, but it seemed to get worse
last night. I'm not sure what it is or what to do about it. I did
take a walk this morning, which may have helped a tad. I'm kind of
afraid to try running, though. We shall see...
