Red eye...

...as in:

1 a : prepared mentally or physically for some experience or action,

...as well as its conventional meaning.

This is what passes for wit in my mind at 3:30 am, though admittedly, not of the hilarious kind ("This pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel stuck down the front of his trousers, see...").

Whatever.

Natalie and I drove down to Pearland after she got home from work last night and we had relatively little trouble emptying out the rest of the stuff from storage. Upon returning, we ate dinner, after which there was little time to do anything else but go to sleep.

I have slept fitfully, waking often but only looking at the time once (neither alarm I set has an exposed clock face). Now to get dressed, make sure I'm not leaving anything behind, and get on the road.

I am Pagosa bound!

Cheers...
