<\/a>on the road for Tucson (the 18th). \u00a024 years with Kate and our relationship improves like fine wine, gaining more nuance and depth, more body with each passing year. \u00a0This year we return to the Nicollet Island Inn for dinner, the spot from which we launched our honeymoon. \u00a0As spring rolled forward in March of 1990 those three weeks in Europe were as good a beginning as the marriage itself. Next year we’ll celebrate our 25th anniversary at Mama’s Fish House on Maui.<\/p>\nThe Tucson trip grows closer. \u00a0These rolling retreats, as I like to think of alone time behind the wheel, are really just road trips. \u00a0Road trips are part of the American way, peregrinatio updated for the age of the internal combustion engine.<\/p>\n
This one of course has its focus self discovery, focus, personal deepening so it will have a more spiritual note, but it will also include my usual visits to spots of natural and historic interest. \u00a0Among the possibilities are Carlsbad Caverns, the Saguaro forests, a state park or two in Arizona, the Sonoran Desert Museum, Mt. Kitt, Chaco Canyon, Joshua Tree National Park (probably not, but it’s within reach) and a second visit to the Arbor Day lodge and farm in Nebraska City, Nebraska.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
