Road Trip day 4, home

Mountain chalet — Front porch. Ambitious traveling required to arrive here.

The long way is the short cut.
dad

This quote is one of my favorites.

Why?

It summarizes in one sentence the whole volume.

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.

Blue truck under blue overpass — Travel.

Travel educates you. So does making your home your favorite place on the planet.
dad

Writing today’s final entry from our vehicle’s back seat.

Why?

Cheryl took over 15 minutes ago.

Why?

Sunset.

As my eye heals, if i can skip night driving, good.

And, we are close to driving into the city where we are staying.

Road Trip day 2, home

Traffic — Rush hour. Crawling. Both directions. Less than 10 minutes from today’s final destination.

Man standing next to a car — Pulled over to take a short break. Ten lanes of crawling rush hour traffic on the other side of our vehicle.

Who doesn’t love smiling at how audacious you can be?
dad

Driving 10 hours today (and 6.5 hrs yesterday) seemed impossible 72 hours ago.

Pulling over 10 minutes from today’s destination seemed impossible too.

But i did what needed to be done.

Feels amazing.

Road Trip day 1, home

welcome to South Carolina sign — Drove farther today in one day than i have in decades. Wasn’t sure i could do it. Succeeded because i prepared in an excellent way.

Leaning into discomfort has served me all of my days.
dad

It’s always been challenging to describe to others what i self-label as an insatiable desire to learn.

Disaster was prowling

Apple Watch screenshot — Removing the “new” IP address fixed my access to both websites in question.

handwritten notes — This is all the good part from a full page of notes from our 100-minute call.

The numbers from my notes do not show a nearly $400 refund, but that’s supposed to be the net affect.

When possible, always wait a day or more on anything that sounds too good to be true.
dad

The one-month security product rids all malware and locks the back door.

Tomorrow’s road trip will last a week, possibly more.

The new Hosting plan sounds too good to be true.

Therefore, i asked if i can take 10 days to decide.

The “patch” costs $200 but it gives me time.

What if there’s a better multi-year product than the one offered?

What if there’s a catch like hidden fees or something complicated?

It feels good to know the Hosting on offer is probably legit the best one.

If it is, it saves $100 per year, so $400 less than my current (4-year) Hosting.
