Yep…made it back to Eagan from where I make this final post, sitting at my desk chair which never seemed so comfortable. Sincere thanks to anyone who tuned in for the postings. Special thanks to Chad for sharing the second half of the tour and for being an all around good road companion. As I gradually nurse myself back to health in time for work Monday, I’ll carry this sentiment for a spell until I acquire the time, energy, money and permission to saddle up for the next ride: “…back home – sit down and patch my bones and get back Truckin’ on…” (Robert Hunter).

Blurry image of Valparaiso Memorial Opera House, from the base of the stage. The venue was charming, intimate and completely captivated by Todd’s performance. Chad and I had seats on the floor.
