The daily posts will be short the next few days as I’m on the road in Texas and using a tablet instead of a desktop. Despite bringing a bluetooth keyboard, me using a tablet is like the Mets trying to play baseball in 2026, if you get my drift.

Today, the plan is to drive out to where my Mom wishes to be buried and have her pick out an urn at the funeral home. So, yeah, not the sort of travel adventure one generally anticipates with vacation glee and energy, but there you go.

Along the way we hope to wander through a few antiques stores in East Texas, as is the plan the next few days as well. Going back in time is the theme and while I like history, I’m hoping we don’t end up back in the Confederacy.

More tomorrow after some urn buying.

(No photos the next few it appears, as the tablet is taking geologic time to upload photos, if at all)
