Chicago and all it entails...

Throughout my youth James was a guy I could always count on to reserve judgement and be my friend regardless of my social standings. Though we would sometimes go weeks or even months without speaking, he remained one of the few true friends I had in the world. With the perils of growing up and branching out come casualties in friendship. As we both matured, we grew further apart until all we had left of each other were merely fond rememberances.
I hadn't talked to James in a long time, but while I was last in Corning I found an old jacket of mine. In the pocket was an index card with a phone number and a name, it was James' number. I gave it a call while I was home, but it was outdated and the number was no longer in service. Through the mysterious wonders of the internet, last month I was re-united with my long lost friend. To my dismay, his life is less than perfect.
However, the open road is good medicine and I met my best friend Jon on a marathon road trip to Athens, GA with strangers. It was through this logic that we decided the best way to reconnect and make peace with our lots in life would be a grand adventure. As coincidence would have it, he drives an '82 VW Rabbit. Circumstances have presented themselves, and we'll be embarking on a 15 hour road trip to Chicago and back this Wednesday.
Of course I'm all welled up inside with excitement to re-unite with my old friend, and I'm equally excited to take an impromptu road trip to a city I've never visited before. You can expect video documentation shortly after I get home.
A video featuring the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail is also ready and should be up tonight or tomorrow. Look back shortly for it.
