Road Trip!
For those of you out there who may have been checking in on me these first few days of blogging, you will no doubt notice a drastic stylistic change with today's post. I have officially conceded, for the time being, development of my blog through WordPress. The initial appeal of using the more detailed WP to flex my HTML, PHP, SQL, and CSS muscles has faded as I begin to focus more and more on preparations for the Fellowship. As a result, I have moved over to the user-friendly and convenient Blogger engine (a division of Google) for an indefinite period of time.
Well this is it...I'm on my way to Aspen! The car is pretty much packed and come tomorrow, I will begin my approx. 1,200 mile, 20 hour drive out to the beautiful Rockies. This trip, being divided over three days, will begin with a full day or eight hours of driving from the Western suburbs to just past Lincoln, Nebraska where I will spend the night in a budget motel. Then on the morning of the 31st, I will make my way over to Colorado Springs and spend the night with college buddy, Joe Wilhelmi and his wife Cheryl. Finally, I will drive NW for four hours and make my way to Aspen on a road that I am told it supposed to yield amazing views.
This is by far the longest distance I have ever driven solo and as a result, I have taken extra precautionary measures in compiling a killer soundtrack for the drive. Ladies and gents, I present to you the "Jeff Tsai Drivin' to Aspen Extended Dance Party Mix"
