may 17th.

well. we are in batavia now. and i’ll post a generic post about that soon. but first. allow me to post about may 17th. it began, with a little drive to medina, to visit a toy train museum. which is apparently owned by the one and only “fireman marty”, a local fireman, who used to […]
queen city getaway before the getaway.

so. our camper wasn’t going to be ready friday. we were staying at derek’s mom’s house. they weren’t even there. we only had a couple of clothes changes with us. the situation was getting old. so, derek bought some points from his dad and booked us a fancy pants hotel in uptown charlotte for the […]
our first weeks of homelessness.
