The Road Ain’t No Place to Start a Family

Cleveland is interesting.

But something I’ve learned on this trip: Journey was right.

    Word. How many times have I had to fall back on Journey to put into words my inexpressible feelings? (Like, for example, Any way you want it That’s the way you need it Any way you want it.)
    I’m sure they miss you too, and you can console yourself by thinking, Wheel in the sky, keep on turnin’ Don’t know where I’ll be tomorrowhoa.

    Interesting. Good way to put it. I prefer “I hate this damn city and cannot wait to move back home”. Have fun, and they miss you just as much as you miss them.

    The free stamp was originally intended to be placed free-side down in front of the BP building in Public Square. It spent some time in pieces in Indiana before it was placed in Willard Park.

    Cleveland *is* interesting. And no, it’s not easy to love…which, I suppose, is why I do.

    Hmm, love the photo. Wouldn’t have thought of that sculpture being in Cleveland, to be honest, but it’s nice!

    Welcome to Cleveland! We may not have that many Mormons, but we can do one better: head east a bit toward Pennsylvania and you’re in Amish Country! Cause, c’mon, who doesn’t love fresh cheese and wicker furniture?

    Wicker? The Amish make everything out of oak!

    And btw, if our weather was better, they’d be lining up to live here. ;)

    If I didn’t know better I’d say you were homesick… :) How sweet.

    If you want to make a pit-stop in Motown, I’d be happy to point out a few sights! We’re not too far from the Ohio state line!

    yesterday afternoon while napping with both dogs on top of me i had one of those dreams that happens when i’m halfway between asleep and awake and i thought i heard you come in the back door. and then you walked into the living room and put your hand on my face and told me to keep sleeping.

    and still, i won’t see you for another four days. that’s longer than the amount of time i go between poops, jon. A LONG FUCKING TIME.

    I was just there on MY road trip (we’re practically twins). Go to Panini’s on W. 6th and get yo’self a drippy samwich. Just watch out for Patsy.

    Unless you’ve already left, in which case never mind…

    This may be pretty immature of me to say, but c’mon John be strong. Be a man. Stop it with the whinny sissy songs. You are with your buddies. I have a better song to fit your trip:

    Either way, enjoy yourself.

    Cleveland doesn’t have many Mormons…except for the entire village of Kirtland. There are 3 LDS churches within 1/2 mile.

    suddenly, i feel a bit choked up. sniff.

    Panini’s is good, Alesci’s (just a few doors down) is better, but the BK in Lakewood is best.

    Coincidence that Blurb started the road trip in Cleveland?

    Slyman’s on St. Claire is kick ass, as is Great Lakes Brewing Company’s beer and eats.

    The Free stamp is one of my favorite things about Cleveland. It makes me miss it just a little bit.
