On the road again

By Mike Jastrzebski

We’ve been back to the States for two weeks now and we’re in Paducah Kentucky on our way to Minnesota to see the grand kids.

Right now I’m not quite sure which is harder, driving across country or sailing across the Gulf  Stream. Okay, crossing the stream was more rigorous, but driving 500 miles a day for three plus days is a bit hard on the back. I think this trip has convinced us that if we sell the boat we don’t want to get an RV.

As we’re driving we’ve been listening to the Killing Floor by Lee Child. I read the book years ago but I read so many books that I’d forgotten the plot. I’d also forgotten what a good writer he is. Mary and I have both been enjoying the book and it’s made this trip much more enjoyable.

We hope to arrive at my son’s house Tuesday afternoon. I have to admit that I’m looking forward to seeing the family, but I’m also looking forward to beginning the rewrite of the new Wes Darling book, Stranded Naked Blues, which I plan to work on in the mornings while we’re in Minnesota. If all goes as planned I hope to have the book ready for publication before Christmas.
