Made it to Washington; Passed through Pittsburg 2 days back.
Washington, PA and Pittsburg, TX, that is. After two solid days of driving, here I am at the
Super 8 Motel in Cannonsburg, PA. It is two better than the Motel 6 in East Memphis: Free wireless and a bigger room. No sign of super powers yet though.
First day of driving, I enjoyed mp3 CD's on my self-installed, yet miraculously working new stereo. Today I enjoyed the first two-thirds of Summerland, by Michael Chabon. Kind of a "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" meets "Shoeless Joe" (the book that morphed into "Field of Dreams".). A nice light read/ listen, and especially appropriate for driving into Pittsburgh, a Chabon home. I forgot I had it until I heard Michael and his wife on NPR this morning as I was looking for coffee and breakfast.
Off to AAAI tomorrow, the workshop I'm sitting in on, not the workshop I have a paper in.
