A vacation in short words

The van packed full.
Sun rise on the highway.
Eighteen hours rolling south with no AC.
Austin!
Austin!
The hotel clerk, “I hear Madison is the Austin of Wisconsin.”
Hot, humid, plant growing weather.
Low Austin houses, overgrown and damp.
LBJ, a Texan President so different from what we have now.
NYC Dave, my brother.
Hotel pools and southern cooking.
Mount Bonnel with 30 cheerleaders.
“I want to marry a Jesus man.”
SB’s tonsils rebel, grow enormous, sprout fever.
Small Burning Man Conference
Tent city and nakedness.
Music painful assulting loudness.
River swimming.
Texas size thunderstorms.
Hot.
Driving, driving, driving.
Little Rock friendliness beyond measure.
Clinton’s space ship landing.
36 hour breakdown.
Little Rock.
Driving better than ever.
Lnet’s new home.
Driving.
Cool, cool Madison.
