Ricky Nelson

I know the title seems a bit odd but I'm going to kind of summarize what I've been up to lately. I was riding in the car the other day and I could not get the song "Traveling Man" out of my head. My car has been running perfectly but I wouldn't blame it for turning around and complaining that it is tired. I have so far gone from MB to Athens GA to LaCrosse WI to Cleveland OH to Wrentham MA to Troy ME to Taunton MA, whew. It has been a whirlwind of travel for two weeks, but I have seen my grandadult graduate from college and really enjoyed the time with my other GA grandadult and the rest of the family. I visited my brother in Sun Prairie WI on my way east and saw his new home. I visited some family and friends in MA that will always be an important piece of my life before heading to Maine to be with my son and his family. My youngest grandadult graduates high school soon and I love that when I return home he will be with me. He is going to live with me and attend Horry Georgetown Technical for a couple of years. I had rain everyday or part of everyday from leaving GA May 12th until yesterday May 25th, but I have managed to play golf quite a few days even though I did get wet on some of them. It is so wet the ball won't bounce and the grass is growing so fast they can't keep up with it, so golf has been different than in MB but I've had some very good rounds anyway in the hill country. Tomorrow I'm on the 4 hour road back to Maine again and will be helping to care for my three year old great grandson on Saturday. So I'll probably be whistling some old Ricky Nelson again as I too am a traveling man, without the breaking hearts in every town bit. Whose heart could be broken by an old timer like me?
