You may have noticed a couple new names in the ‘Friends’ links, Laura and Johnny. You may remember in October I ***mentioned|http://prwdot.org/?p=archives/002071*** that we had dinner with them before they set out on their cross country adventure.

Well, they’ve left Maryland and are blazing a trail across the southern US. To keep friends and family informed of their whereabouts and to share their experiences they have made themselves a blog! You too can join me in pretending to toss aside your humdrum lives, buying a trailer and exploring this great country.

Check them out at their website ***Living in the Slow Lane…|http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=DimbyRVin***

{added note for those of you who weren’t in Mr. Goldberg’s 5th grade class…}
Crunchy = the name of a character in one of Laura’s stories… and a nickname she aquired for herself
“Crunchy”= an oft used term referring to those who live simply, off the land and eat granola. Synonym- tree hugger.
