The quiet before the storm

So I am about ready to roll. Heading to California by car, then who knows where. At the present my instinct tells me to drive down to central america and sell my car in Costa Rica, then hop on a boat and go to Brazil and then maybe fly to Africa. I want to do it all, but I know I can't. I'm just glad I am finally leaving. Hope the road conditions are not too bad.

The difference in success and failure, in winning and losing, and yes even in life and death, is in doing something almost right and in doing it exactly right. General Patton (I think but gotta double check).
