over the hard, on the hard

after well over 20 hours over the pavement in car jammed full of stuff, a traffic jam in chicago, plenty of toll booths to help us get more used to traveling slower, another traffic jam in dc, a few imaginative turns leading to our nation's capital, and a sweet gaulking at the library of congress, we finally arrived! deanna (our daughter), and pam and i are resting for the rest of the day in the belly of our beloved cricket.
