A State Observed going on a roadtrip

So it's only about a month and a half until we are moving to Southborough, MA. Things are being sold on Craigslist, we will soon be without our last couch. The Spyker, I mean SAAB, will be filled with as much as it can take and then we're heading east. This weekend will see us host a garage sale, a great American tradition.

Below you'll find our planned travel rout across the continent.

Neil Gaiman at UCSB

We went and listened to Neil Gaiman at UCSB last night. He read a few of his newest short stories in front of what looked like a sold out event. Very enthusiastic crowd. All in all a good evening. We got home from SB late.

I really do enjoy his writing, and he seems to be a very nice person, but does he have to mention Twi%$&%tter quite so often? I guess I just need to go with the times and embrace that whole band wagon, but I'm not drinking the kool aid just yet. Any ways this was his twitterage about the event:

"Just talked writing to UCSB lit students for 90 Minutes. So fun and so much enthusiasm and smarts. And I was hugged a lot at the end."
