a road trip

I turned 40 in August. Decided to follow my dreams to Los Angeles after so many years in New York City. Then, I decided to drive cross country. What was I thinking? Heh. [Sponsored by Marriott, Red Bull Energy Drink and Dove Men Care.] Let's make memories.

Got a late start on the road, which is fitting, since it's the story of my life and this trip. Heh.

Had one of the best breakfast sandwiches ever at a diner near the interstate. One day I'll remember its name and share. So good.

Allegedly got pulled over by the law and didn't get a summons because--hypothetically--the law man couldn't log into his computer. *whistling and driving away*

Got to the Edenton Boys and Girls Club too late to conduct the writing workshop with the twelve and fourteen year olds. However, it still shall be done. Via webinar. Technology rocks. You know, even when it hypothetically fails during an alleged pull over. *still whistling*

There's nothing like spending time with family. Home cooked meals, lots of laughs, and the friendliest dog this side of forever. #love

First time stepping on Alabama soil. Visited the 16th Street Baptist Church and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. An emotional morning, for sure.
