Day One Entry: Sep 8, 2013

After riding In the car from Jackson to Logan standing in line to get boarding pass and invasively frisked by TSA I was inside the gate… With exactly two hours to wait. Just like Melanie said there would be. There was a family over in the corner, trying their best to keep kids entertained --they were not entertained and howling. A sweet young sing song voice came over the intercom to remind us all that there is no screaming in the waiting area. Really?
On the plane, I sat beside a mom and her 4 year old. Of course I gave up my window seat. He didn't fall asleep until 10 minutes before we landed. As soon as we landed and the A/C shut down and everyone was standing up to get out and everything got really claustrophobic mom blew lunch--she was a little pregnant>
I got to my holiday inn hotel ok and walked down the street to find supper. Ribs, fried okra and rutabagas--  I've bad better ribs. I also picked up a can of boiled pouts in a can. I'm told you should warm them in the microwave before eating.

As editor, I corrected what I could (Judd typing with his thumbs on his iphone...) I just couldn't translate what this meant. Can you?

    I popped the lid off the aluminum can -- let the brine slide down my fingers, man.

    I had boiled peanuts for breakfast, from Cairo, Georgia.

  4. Wow! I didn't find out about your grand adventure until afterward, but you get major kudos for kicking up your heels on the dancefloor at our wedding the night before you set off on the AT! This is so exciting -- can't wait to read all about it -- completing the AT is on my bucket list! Bravo!! ~Courtney & Zachary Smith
