Briefly, on outline of our itinerary: we will be driving from Glen Ridge, New Jersey to Cape Breton and back again. This will, by my calculation, require spending 4,000 hours in our gas-guzzling, suitably large and obnoxiously American HEMI-powered Dodge Durango (everything but the gun rack) and may result in yours truly having to hijack a gasoline tanker truck along the way. We leave on Sunday, July 23. First stop: Mystic, Connecticut (for the children, I should add). I suppose an introduction to our brood is appropriate:
Sarah: 12 and sometimes pouty.
Isabel: 10 and preternaturally happy.
Michael: 7 and just a tad devilish (he was sent to the principal's office last May for suggesting to one of his classmates that Katherine McPhee had big boobs. Hey, he's a boy. What are you gonna do?)
Today we pack. Oy.
