One for the road

As I sit here trying to wax poetic or come up with some amusing tales about my next road trip, I am reminded of some of the older Bob Hope & Bing Crosby road movies (Road to Morocco, Road to Zanzibar, etc.).  I know.  Campy old movies with corny plot lines and bad one liners.  Overall there were seven road movies in all spanning from 1940 to 1962 (before my time).  These were made in the days before dvds, tivo, PPV and big budget blockbusters.  I grew up watching a lot of Bob Hope's movies and was always a huge fan.  Somehow, I always felt he looked and acted just like my dad.  Bob Hope & John Wayne were my two favorite actors when I was growing up and I still find my self watching their old movies when they show up on TMC.  Now that I think about it, I am pondering rearranging my netflix movies to pick up a few road movies...

Oh, and I am back on the road again for a few days.  Headed back to the northeast to Salem, New Hampshire.  Another short supplier audit, day of travel up, full day of digging through a company's processes/records, another day of travel back.  At least it gets me out of the office for a few days.  Now, if only everyone would leave me alone while I am out.

Long weekend ahead but full agenda.  I will get back from the road in time to head out to Austin to help son move out of one apartment and into another.  As much of a pita this will be, I am looking forward to spending the time with him albeit humping boxes & furniture into storage.  Momma has chosen (wisely, I might add) to stay back and man the fort with the dog crew.  That means it'll be a guy's weekend......
