These days when I run into someone new to blogging or just a new acquaintance I send them to view my blog. Rather than get into (a lather) this whole laborious self revelation in the first encounter - at someone's house warming or birthday (or as some of my friends like to call 'Happy Birthday') party I encourage the interviewer into a 'seek and you shall find' mode.

Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest. Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.
