I'm back and stuff.
Well, I'm putting this back out there. It was never really gone, I just changed the link to the front page while I decided if I wanted to keep blogging or not. I've decided to keep blogging.
So, lets get right into it. I've got a big idea for a photo project...since I didn't get any photos when I was in Cleveland - due to weather and a serious migraine. This project includes 9.5 hours on a Greyhound bus. Yeah, 9.5 hours. It's the cheapest way to get to Akron for Thanksgiving without driving my car. Why not drive, you ask? Well, because Lauren is going out with the girls earlier in the week. I'm on call the actual week of Thanksgiving, so I have arranged to take Friday Nov. 16th off to go out to be with her family and have a pre-Thanksgiving dinner that weekend, and come home with Lauren and the girls on Sunday. I want to ride with them, so I need to get up there without a car. Enter Greyhound.
We've priced out renting a car, which I've done in the past. We've also priced out train tickets. Turns out you can take a bus for 37 bucks! How can you beat that?
I'll tell you how. You take that 37 dollar bus ticket, you pack a carry on sized bag with an old camera, some film (yeah...if you're going to ride on a bus, you might as well use film to capture it....) and 9.5 hours of opportunity. How can you go wrong with that? It couldn't be ANY worse than the 21 hours I spent on a train to New Orleans once.
So, and I keep thinking about this, I'll keep you up to date. And even more fun, when I get back and have the photos, I'll be sure to put a gallery out there to view.
Peace out, and thanks for coming back. I promise to update more often!
