Many Miles To Go Before I Sleep

Well, I’m about to head out on my solo mega road trip, so it’ll probably be a few days before I post again. Today I’m gonna drive 12-13 hrs from State College, PA to Huntsville, Alabama, so that I can attend Daniel & Katie’s wedding tomorrow!! I figure there should be at least one Penn State representative at the wedding, and I’m glad to volunteer for that. 🙂 And don’t worry, I’ll try to snap quite a few pictures for everyone back here at Penn State, I’ll be the annoying person with the camera down there, hehe. Then on Sunday I’ll be driving 13 hrs (give or take Chicago, boo Dan Ryan construction) up to Green Bay, WI to visit my buddy Mike. And if that weren’t enough, on Monday I’ll be driving 6 hrs from Green Bay to the Twin Cities to go to a Twins game (the Twins are red-hot currently too!) with some of my Gustavus friends plus Jacob from PSU and a few of his U of M friends, that should be a lot of fun. So I won’t make it home to Cumberland until Tuesday, or at least that’s the plan as of now.
Australia advanced to the 2nd round with a thrilling 2-2 tie yesterday against Croatia. I watched it down at the Sports Cafe with Aviva and my kangaroo beanie baby (and in some Australia gear), and it was definitely the most entertaining game of the World Cup so far (for sure more so than any of the USA games, blah). Plenty of scoring, lots of near misses, a penalty kick, three red cards, and a good deal of drama, with Australia coming back to tie it in the 79th minute. An Aussie loss would’ve put Croatia through to the knockout round, and they did almost lose it. Here’s to hoping Australia can beat Italy in a few days and continue their magical run!
Well, I better get going, I’ve got a long drive ahead of me!
