Have a safe trip! If you end up on 95 in RI you’re gonna drive right past me like 2 minutes away!

Safe travels Brian. I envy you and your mom having dreams of a deceased friend/loved one. It's almost four years and I still haven't had a dream of my husband. I know your deceased friends are very proud of you and grateful to you for taking care of their families and helping. Hope the upcoming Scares goes very well for you too. Take care and hang in there. I'm gonna be 60 in Oct and I can vouch that anything takes a lot longer or harder to do compared to when we were in our 20s to 40s :)

Travel well, Brian. Hopefully the 18 hours, especially the back 9, aren't too tough on you while you're alone with your thoughts and a load of Jim's books. A heavy haul indeed.

Also, since you didn't steer me wrong with Yela Wolf and Shooter Jennings, I'm listening to Standing On The Outside as I type. I dig me some Sheryl Crow, and can appreciate why you dig this haunting tune.

That load of books sounds heavy indeed in more ways than one.

Great read here Brian. I also used to love road trips, but now the three hour drive I take to my son's college is about the most I can handle, and that's only because I need to see my boy. I was all set to see you in Wisconsin back in 2020 and then Covid happened and it was cancelled. Then you showed up in Chi town at books of blood in 2023 and my daughter had covid so I didn't go because I couldn't risk spreading that. You are one of my favorites, we've texted, we enjoy the same music, authors, movies etc. I hope to get to shake your hand one day, and thank you for the many hours of escapism your books have given me. Bless you and your family.
