I arrived at Alison's house in Fort Worth Monday evening and spent most of the day Tuesday washing clothes, working on the Fleeter Logs, and generally just resting up from the road and late nights. I think I have a good idea why I'm running low on sleep on this trip. It's like this... I arrive at a friend's house, we stay up late visiting (sometimes all night), I have a short night to sleep (or sometimes just a 2 hour nap), then I go to the next stop and do it again. Now what I'm figuring is happening, is when I go to my next stop the person I just left starts catching up on their sleep while I do another late night down the road at my next stop. Therefore, once a week or so I need to have a late morning or a slow day to rest up so I can do it some more! By Wednesday, I was out running the roads again catching up and visiting with some friends in the DFW area!

I was the only one in the cemetery during my visit.
I found the marker I was looking for and had a quiet moment with memories of Dick.
