End semester II

Tonite is the last class at STCC (thank goodness). The final is May 3rd. Friday afternoon we are loading up the Durango and heading for South Carolina. I haven't seen my son for several months and we plan on spending Sunday together. He has to be in school Monday and we are heading back to Memphis so McKenzie will only have to miss one day (though she doesn't mind missing!). The price of gas appears to be holding at around $2.79 to $2.89 throughout most of the southeast. I hope it stays there until our return trip. The Durango is a bit tough on gas, with a 25 gallon tank and around 18 or 19 mpg on the highway. While in SC, I will most likely take Zach to a USC baseball game and then we will play some golf. He is getting a lot better at golf and my game is going the other way, so he beats me occasionally. Oh, the days of yore, when I used to let him win as stuff sometimes to boost his self esteem!

Sunday I had my second trolley ride and my family's first. After Church, we came down to my job and worked out at the gym, then afterwards, hopped on a trolley to downtown and had a few brews and some lunch at Jillians. It is a cool place with TV's and sports everywhere, pool tables and upstairs is a huge gameroom for kids of all ages. The service is rather slow, but with ball games to watch and a tall glass of beer to sip on, I was fine. I am working on my patience a lot and am getting better. I think my time in the Caribbean helped me with that. Being impatient on Nevis is a tough way to go, so you learn to wait and when you finally get into the flow of time and life on Nevis, it helps you be more patient back in the US too.

Got to get online and try to find a piece of luggage that straps to the top of a truck. We pack so much when we travel, even the back of the Durango may not be big enough, plus, we bring back more that we take!

So adios and Good Day!
