O.K. so this is the beginning of my travel blog, and I will be writing when ever I can. Being away from steady access to a computer I don’t know how frequent these entries will be.
Today is two days from my departure date. I am getting a little nervous, but my excitement far exceeds my fear. Tonight is the last night with my parents before the trip. This week I have been taking my girls to dinner, and getting to spend some last minute quality time. Last night Auto wanted to pay for dinner and I told her that because I don’t have a girlfriend to dote on that I was using her and the other girls to fill that void, but they got to reap the benefits. I did start missing her and them, and I haven’t even left yet. This is going to be a very long couple of months.

Wait, wait, already you’ve got me. “Auto”? As in autopilot? Auto-erotic? Dang, I hate cultural references that remind me I’m in my dotage.

Hi Ben,

OK Aunt Carol, that first entry was more of a test run/journal entry. auto is a friend of mine one of a close group of friends that call them selvs the urbin family. So since as i said i have no significant to miss i was using them as place holders for that splace in me. unfortunately not that they are all losing their memories (or marbles)
keep checking in on me. its nice to know that there are friendly people keeping tabs on me.
love,
your lost nephew
