We’re on our way. Five AM came early. Two cups of coffee got us moving. Our friend and neighbor Kelly drove us to the airport. We’re checked in and waiting for our first flight to Houston.

We’ll stay the night in Houston and then fly out tomorrow morning for Munich. Hopefully, we’ll meet some of my old buddies from my days working offshore. Or, in the case of James, my days as a consultant for Hewlett-Packard.

If we don’t get a chance to see our friends, I guess we’ll hang out at hotel drinking Shiner Bock (the second best thing to come out of Texas, after ZZ Top).

Life is a journey.
