Gray skies and cool winds can't dampen our spirits - we are SO looking forward to this next week's travels - when we leave Michigan, we'll head south on I-75 towards Florida, with a two ...

Ah Detroit...home to the Pacers-Pistons brawl at the palace, the Russian national hockey team, and what will be the remnants of the once great American auto-industry once the bailout money is misappropriated and gone. I just had a burger at Chili's too for lunch, figuring it will be the last ...

Cath and I walk up the road a100 metres and find a family restaurant (like a diner no alcohol but wholesome cheap food). Good food again.

Off to bed

A nice relaxing day with a bit of time to catch up at the end

... excitement and fun points during the trip? The guy (Karl) played around and brought up the screen pertaining to the air card information! Gee no wonder it was not working we have an outstanding account of $2,600 run up "apparently" when we were on international roving! Oh gee we have a problem Houston!

This assignment is with Child/Youth Services I am learning what it means to operate in the "chain of command" and the other consultants have been laughing at my "Type A" mentality.
