Mornings Gone Awry

Shane and Dorcas typically leave their little apartment shortly after 3:00 AM every Monday morning. They head for Denver with Dorcas at the wheel of the truck. (Those of us who have known Shane's early morning modus operandi understand the wisdom of this.) Often they are gone overnight, servicing book racks in various towns before heading home a day or two later. So they take along on-the-road food, and clothes for the duration. At some point, they have to load books onto the truck too.

Sometimes the process goes slightly awry, as evidenced by Shane's Facebook post:

"Is it Monday morning? Note to self: Even if it's early in the morning, especially if you're leaving for three days, you should probably go ahead and put a shirt on. Oh, and at least one of you should remember to bring your wallet.

Details, details, I know. For the record, I had an undershirt on, but I never got around to putting on my uniform. We were already in Denver by the time we discovered the missing wallets. Let's just say that when creatures of zombiesque habit get their routine disrupted, it's not a pretty thing."

LOL. For once, this acronym fits.

P.S. I don't know why the funny font--something about cutting and pasting.

  • We don't actually leave quite that early--it was a little after four. And it does change morning to morning. All in all, it was a day we'd just as soon forget. Let's just say that Crystal got to explore more Colorado scenery sooner than she expected. Kudos to her for helping us out!
