I'm taking care of last minute details before heading off on the road towards the hip-happening town of Tuscaloosa, Alabama [1]!
You might be wondering why, of all places, why would I go to Tuscaloosa? Because I'm off to see my best friend Sean Hoade [2], professor to non-English speaking students at the University of Alabama [3] and perpetual grad student.
Let's see … got the rental car for Spring … my car has been cleaned … laundry done, now to pack … try to grab a short nap before heading off into the night on the long dark road.
