There’s not a lot to be said for our drive from Grand Island down to Dallas/Fort Worth. Driving through Kansas and Oklahoma on I-135/I-35 *may* have even fewer redeeming features than driving on I-80 through Nebraska. The only highlight was after becoming ravenous & hoping against hope that we could find somewhere to stop besides Hardees or Burger King, a light came down from the heavens and shone down upon Lincoln Perk in Hesston, Kansas. Caffeine jolt AND lunch AND wireless internet all in one!
As we were waiting to place our order, John & I were both eyeing the array of gelato offerings. It was then that he queried, “I wonder what chair tastes like?”
“I think that might be chai,” I clarified.

The most notable thing about a drive Scott and I did from Kansas to Dallas were the cowboy boots on the curtains in the motel where we spent the night in New Mexico. Fascinating. Oh – and every time we had to stop on the side of the road, I involuntarily had thoughts that we were going to be abducted… By aliens or maniac-serial-killer truck-drivers.
