Happy Easter! See ya later!

We stayed up late again last night, which was just not not good for me, I think (the fois gras was worth it, though).

I don't feel particularly tired right now, but spreading out a one night's sleep over two days is bound to show itself somehow. Luckily, I'm not going to be driving until we get on the other side of the mountains, so I will have time to a) catch a nap or b) get super energized.

Option (b) is actually a lot more likely than anyone could imagine.

The weather looks like it'll be great, too — clearing up and getting warmer and the week goes on and we move east. Everywhere else is at least 13 degrees warmer than Seattle right now.

Sioux Falls is one of our planned night stops, and the weather there looks just craptastic all week, but everywhere else looks good.

Seventy-eight degrees and sunny? I can dig it.

I'm taking an EVDO card with me to possibly get some work done on the road (and OK, to keep me from getting the shakes from being away from internet access so long), so we should never get hopelessly lost. It'll be interesting to see if it's helpful at all, or if older technology (like, say, a phonebook) still works better for getting information in certain parts of the country.

And off I go.
