Central Time Zone

We have a clear itinerary for the continuation of the trip now, which is great. However, I also feel like having DSL internet and an ethernet cord available in the hotel room is in fact too much of a good thing... definitely spent too much time on the net this evening in Montgomery, AL.

We did get out of the hotel for a surprisingly delicious dinner at a Japanese chain restaurant (Sugato??) just down the road from here. Neither Mom nor I had any idea that upon sitting down, we'd be treated to a meal made right before our eyes by a very wacky chef, who spun food in the air, lit certain parts of the food on fire, and then grilled it to perfection. I remembered that ARIGATO! is the way to say thank you in Japanese, and he seemed to appreciate that.

Now KC is beckoning me to rest and I'm inclined to take her up on her advice. I've also been neglecting writing in my book journal in favor of this online compliation, but would like to strike a more even balance from now on.

Moving on to New Orleans for New Year's Eve tomorrow night.
