Married (pt. 1)

I’ve been gone for a long time, and my sitemeter stats are really showing it. Not that I had hundreds of visitors before, but now it’s really tapered off to nothing. I will update soon, and I’ve got huge roadtrip playlists to upload. Not only did I have to drive the 24-26 hours from Massachusetts to Minnesota, but I also took a little honeymoon up to the North Shore of Lake Superior, so that tacked on another 8+ hours of roadtrip driving. Needless to say, I did not create a roadtrip CD that would cover all 50-60 hours of driving. I certainly have enough music, but I have to leave enough room for public radio and Rush Limbaugh (so. angry. impossible to fall asleep.) to round out the roadtrip experience.

What happened? I’m married, and have been for almost two weeks. Send me presents.
