…Tammy and I found ourselves at Dealey Plaza.

 

The original plan was to blog all along the trek that the two of us had going across America, just as I’ve blogged about seemingly everything and anything since 2004.  But I discovered about this point of our odyssey that journeys of self-discovery lose something when you’re also documenting it for public viewing as you venture forth.  It was in Dallas that I went on a respite for awhile, that lasted almost two years.  But in the end I came back, none the worse for wear, and filled with lots of stories to tell.
