First stop, Lowell, Mass

Got out the door on time. Ran into my first heavy traffic about 5 miles down the road and got to see a squirrel run over. (I was so tempeted to stop and bring it along for dinner, but i didn't think my mom would be too excited about that. Maybe, next time!) It was a great day for travel, overast and cool. Stopped a long the Merrit Parkway in New York to refuel and ran into Jim, who use to attend a yoga class with me about 10 years ago in Doylestown, PA. What a surprise! Made the rest of the drive listening to a crazy book CD.
