Hello Family,
I left Lake Charles Louisana with Glenn and Patty Rutledge. She has terrible CH and Glenn is her wonderful supporter. I did get to see my sister in Tucson, Az for one night and that was nice. I left there and drove 14 hours and arrived last night. I was having a CH yesterday, and the lack of sleep did not help me I am sure. Anyway, I was in bad shape. I saw 3 cute looking guys driving and we all pulled in a rest area together. I asked where they were going and they said LA. I explained about CH and asked if one of them could drive my van to LA. Risky I know. They were 3 cousins, 2 of which were from Ireland. The one that drove my van was 22 and a real gentleman. He had just graduated from college in May and was working in NY and they just flew in the day before to Vegas and were coming to LA to see the Hollywood sign and a few things. Anyway, he drove me to LA and I slept some. He was just wonderful to talk with about Ireland. Really had to listen with his accent.
Anyway, I am here now over 2000 miles since leaving Louisana and still going.
Sorry friends, I have had no way to send email for a while so trying to get in touch with all of you. Please email me now at the above address.
I started up smoking on this trip, which I know was dumb but anyway wonder if that is why I am getting more headaches and of course the lack of sleep. I tend to be awaken at 3am with them.
Reading the board is such a great thing. Missed out while I was off the internet.
I miss all of my CH friends. I am looking for some purpose in my life and still looking for it. Guess I will keep traveling.
Any of you in the LA area, write me at ralls@mcmsys.com and we can try to get together while I am out this way.
Thanks.
