This has been a very good road trip. We’ve seen lots of old west nostalgia, beautiful scenery, interesting places to visit and, most of all, the delightful task of adjusting to retirement. Take, for example, our conversation tonight:

Better Half: We have a long drive tomorrow, if we’re going to get home in time for Monday Night Football. Why don’t we just stay halfway or something and relax?

Minstrel: Yep, Let me take a look on the Google map. (Pause) - OK, we’re booked into a place near the Colorado River on the Arizona side.

Better Half: Goodie. (Pause) - I’m sure glad we don’t have to be on time anymore.

Minstrel: America - F**k yeah!
