OK, so we have driven nearly 30K miles this summer so what is so exciting about an 8 hour drive from Norcal to SoCal. Nothing much. It was pretty tame. Sure we ran a little late since the kids' bladders seemed to be smaller this trip. Uncle Bill (Magician friend Bill Jackson) joined us. It's his first time going to the very cool Calico Ghost town. And I got a very sweet email from Cynthia where she thanked us for the care pkg of cookies and stuff. It was a touching note and moved me.
Uncle Bill told me that the landscape (off hwy 58 in the Mojave Desert) reminded him of a trip he and I made almost 15 years ago to Death Valley and later Pahrump and Vegas. "Back in the days when I was young and handsome and had elegant style". In other words, I was young, brown haired, which I slicked back with gel, and wore a Fancy black tux/tails with sequins. He has a good memory and told me of conversation I have long forgotten or suppressed. It is fun to have him along. Since, Nick, our tech guy, is off to Socal for his granny's b-day there was an open spot in the van so Bill could come.
Talked with our realtor in Berea, Ky and we are in discussions about the house we blogged about way back in September. Nothing really deep or exciting to report....yet.
The hotel we always stay at in Barstow didn't have us on the books and so a bit of time was lost once we got here trying to figure out what happened. Fortunately the clerk knew us and checked us in under the clients Direct Bill. After reaching our show-boss it turns out she has us at another hotel this time and forgot to tell us. Sooooo, we will stay here this weekend but be at the other joint next weekend. Crazy life huh?
The kids start trapeze school in two weeks.
Carl's Jr for dinner.....
First show is 5:30PM tomorrow night. While back up in Oroville we have some of the family staying behind and new security camera's and alarms since James' car was broken into last weekend when we were in SoCal....can't wait to shake the dust of that town off my feet. So discouraging and disheartening.
