Numb and Dumb, the Nickel-Plated Wayfarer continues!

A couple of weeks ago I won $100 in Reno while I was supposed to be working. The rest of the week I flew daily to wonderful destinations such as Spokane, WA and Salt Lake City! I must say, Boise was actually a cute little town. By Friday I was grouchy and tired, so I drank a beer at the airport in Albuquerque before heading to Minneapolis:

Last week I enjoyed time in Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Rochester, NY, among other breathtaking towns. Last weekend I watched a couple of movies, drank some beer, and waited for Sunday, when I headed for Columbia, SC, finding cross-country commuting very difficult during Spring Break season. I got stuck at the George H.W. Bush Airport for four hours and flew to a town called Greenville, where I rented a car and drove for two hours, arriving in Columbia at 2am. Special thanks to my mom and dad for listening to me vent for half of their Sunday.

Today I'm in Atlanta at AmericasMart, a giant exhibition space. There was a crazy scene on the street this morning when a car decided to try and drive off the top floor of a parking ramp but only got the front two wheels past the barrier. I chatted with Martha about that for a few minutes before we went upstairs to check on the coffee:

Tonight it's off to Ft. Lauderdale, then on to Orlando, finishing up the week in New Orleans where I'll spend the weekend drinking beer by the pool.
