Sitting awake, waiting for the parents to wake up, listening to the tail end of Meat Loaf's live rendition of "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" from VH1 Storytellers. I like the first half of that song better than the last half, but have to admit Meat Loaf is a consummate showman and his banter with his singing partner at the end really amused me.

In a little while, Mom & Dad will get up, fix breakfast, and we'll be on the road again back down to Springfield. If you read the twitter post that was shipped to these journals a few hours ago you have a pretty good idea of how yesterday went. (Though I have to wonder who actually does read those things; I mainly just put them here so that they get archived and stored whenever I run my LiveJournal update app.) I'll just fill in a few general impressions I remember here.

( General impressions )

This whole journal-writing thing is kinda neat. Should try to do it more often.

In the Leg to Stand On department

Somehow in my last journal post I forgot to mention the entire reason for our trip up to Columbia: to get my leg checked up.

The news was all good for a change; the bone is healing right as they'd hoped, and I'm on track to get this erector set off my leg, probably in the first half of October.

I can't wait to be able to wear pants again. It's amazing to think that as of 10/3, it will have been an entire pantsless year. The Year of No Pants.

(I wear shorts, get your minds out of the gutter.)
