Hitting the road soon, heading for the North Carolina shore, where I was born.  The beaches and the brackish scent of the sound bring back my earliest memories — the shrimperoos and oyster roasts and pulled-pork barbecue connect together every visit I've ever made to my home town over the years.  It will be a long drive with a magical ending.

I won't be able to put up new web log posts while I'm on the road, but I will be posting photographic and video reports of the journey on Facebook, and will write about it all here when I get back.

I hope you're rolling somewhere sweet yourself this summer . . .
