The second day of the journey was all about:
- Mike and Ike and Hot Tamale candies eaten compulsively in the front seat.
- Listening to interviews with John Updike and Quincy Troupe on XM Radio.
- Driving through the hometowns of two major American literary figures and one titanic figure in the history of jazz.
- Rolling hills, and more greenery than we expected to see.
- Too many in-your-face pro-life billboards.
- One famous landmark.
- A late-lunch stopover in a park where the dog chewed sticks and looked annoyed until we indulged him with a pizza crust.
- Shitty driving from truck drivers.
- Wine, sourdough bread, artichoke hearts and brie, consumed on the bed at the motel at day's end.
What, I wonder, will tomorrow bring?

I'm so jealous.
I want to take a road trip!
Road trips through the USA are the bomb. The XM Radio has added immeasurably--all the baseball coverage I want!--and grocery-store dinners (wine, good bread)in motels are essential.
Again, still jealous!!
