Syracuse, NY: Before we left this morning we met Bobby McMahon for breakfast. He lived next door to us when we were kids. It was so great seeing him. He has a great, dry sense of humor which I never realized back in my teenage years. But in those days he was putting worms down my back and tying me up and throwing me on the local recluse’s front porch. Wish we could have stayed longer, but our water pump is now acting up. And three months worth of mail is awaiting us. We left at 11:30, took turns driving, and arrived in Westfield, NY (just a couple of miles from the PA line) at 4:00. Tomorrow we drive to Richland, IN, and will be our longest driving day. At least the weather has improved.
