The long journey to California began today. A moving company packed up our house in about 2.5 hours on Thursday and we left Oxford, MS around 9am. We had to stop by UPS store to mail a rental application because as of right now, we have no place to live. Yeah!!!!! We covered about 550 miles today, arriving in Oklahoma City around 5:30 pm.
I was looking forward to driving early tomorrow morning to reach Albuquerque, NM by 1:30 local time to watch the Ole Miss vs. Wake Forest game. I searched on ESPN tonight and discovered that the Cincinatti vs. Oklahoma game will be on ESPN2 instead. Major Bummer. Oh well, I guess I can sleep in.
The drive to Oklahoma City was quite uneventful. A lot of nothing resides on I-40 from Memphis to present, and I suspect it stretches to Albuquerque. Another 530 miles tomorrow.
The football game snafu oes allow me to pass through Amarillo around lunch time and I plan to eat at The Big Texan Steak Ranch. And no, I do not plan for the free steak. I would like to poop again and not have my colon impacted with 4.5 pounds of beef. More again tomorrow night from Albuquerque.

Good stuff, Dave. I wish Nic, S, K, and I could be with y'all.
I am going to try to catch the Ole Miss game tomorrow afternoon, if it's on Chicago cable. If not, we might have to go to Joe's on Weed St. and get the satellite feed, possibly with no sound.
Ah, I get so nostalgic when SEC football starts up . . .
FIRST BEARS GAME SUNDAY!!!
Here is a link to the TV coverage map. Ryan and Nic are good to go. I will just have to call you over and over for updates.
