Good morning! Happy Saturday. Got my eye glasses and I’m finally leaving for vacation. I just quickly stopped at the library to get John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley, which I thought would be a perfect book for a summer road trip. My gear is all packed and I double checked my apartment and I’m leaving now.
