15 Days and Counting: 22 Days of Walking

Now would be a hell of a time for me to get writers block...

The update is short and sweet today.  I stayed in JP on Sunday night after a stacked set of closing shifts last week.  The combination of tasty food, dodgy wi-fi, and quite possibly the most comfortable futon mattress on the planet scored that particular host a five out of five knapsacks.

Last night saw your intrepid explorer back in Brighton on the tiny couch, this time (thankfully) no dog. The letter to the press is out, we'll see what floats out of that log jam, in the mean time? Back to work.
