It is Memorial Day 2012, and I have not used the blog since my first summer of travels in the summer of 2010. The title, "The Doors Into Summer", comes from an old Monkees tune featuring a traveling caravan...how I feel with my car full of clothes and amusements. That first summer I traveled to Texas A&M, Charlotte, NC, Appalachian State, and Baltimore before taking my road trip home. This summer, Texas A&M, Houston, Galveston, Austin, San Antone, and Kansas City before the summer is over. But before I hit the road, there is much to do, much to finish, and a lot to prepare. I am glad you are coming along for the ride!
