Highway Bound: Self Indulgence Alert

Because we chose to spend a few extra days in Arizona we now face the daunting prospect of making the long trans-desert drive back to West Texas in one fell swoop. We have done it before and will survive it, but between the length of the drive itself and the fact that we will lose two hours by crossing two time zones west-to-east, it makes for a pretty gruelling day. It will be nice to be back home, but we are bummed to be leaving. I should be back in something resembling regular writing by tomorrow afternoon.
