May 19

An easier, greener ride today.  Probably did 200 miles.  Visited some friends in Dallas and spent a very 
pleasant few hours with them.  They are the grandparents of the delightful young lady at whose wedding I officiated a few years ago.  She is finishing up her doctorate and getting ready to move to Houston for post-doc work, while husband Gabe, who is in the same field and who has finished his post-doc, goes off to his new job.  Not in Houston.  They will be apart for a year.  I will visit them in Ohio just before they move.  I just know I will be a calming influence.

Hey, big news!  Texas has trees!  The trees east of Abilene were not a fluke.  Texas is still windy though.  I am in Ennis, some miles southeast of Dallas on I 45.  On to Houston tomorrow.

Once again, we have no name sufficiently worthy to be called a winner.  I begin to despair.

Because certain people are really pressing me for pictures, here are two

The door to my motel room in Ennis.


My sock-clad toes and two bags on the motel floor.


Hope these give you your fix.

    Pat pointed me to your blog -- very cool.

    Given your claims to have performed marriages, I think "Father Carl" is suitable for today's chapter.
