No museums today; no hiking today; nothing but driving from Point A to Point B. 686 miles took 11 hours 10 minutes. I REALLY WANTED TO STAY AWAY FROM 95 (and the George Washington Bridge), so I took 84 all the way west, then kind-of looped around. It worked great - driving through Pennsylvania just felt calmer than New England. Thank you God for this lovely adventure driving day!
Music for today was albums from my purple nano:
U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind, 2000
The album starts with "Beautiful Day", which was the PERFECT way to start the day!
Ke$ha - Animal, 2010
Todd Rundgren - Anthology
I really like the lyrics to "Just One Victory":
Somehow, someday,
We need just one victory and we're on our way
Prayin' for it all day and fightin' for it all night
Give us just one victory, it will be all right
various artists - The Big Chill soundtrack, 1983
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde, 1966
Jamie Cullum - Catching Tales, 2005
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes, 1979
The Doors - The Doors (first album), 1967

It was SOOO COOL going through Cumberland, Maryland listening to "Cumberland Blues" (Gotta get down to the Cumberland Mine.)(I don't know if Cumberland, Maryland is the "Cumberland" in the song, but it is mining country, so maybe.)
