Now comes “The Diary of a Wimpy Old Lady” to replace Diary of a Wimpy Kid. 
I used to drive to and from Norfolk, Virginia in 12 hours when I was stationed there. Look how long it took me to get home from the middle of Virginia this time!
After two weeks of traveling and enjoying the daylights out of the scenery, the museums, and three myLotters, I’m back home. Well, asterisk. Technically, as I type this, I’m in Chuy’s…which is sort of like home. 
Hey, I haven’t had Chuy’s in two weeks!!!!
I still have more to tell you about, but for now the traveling is over.
The photo is of Harvey and me in the Jimmy Stewart Museum.

Now, is that pronounced "chewy" or "choo"?

@FourWalls That's how I was reading it, but then I had a moment of doubt.

@BarBaraPrz — I blame Pony for accusing it of being a Chinese restaurant. Bad horsey!

Chewy. But not for dogs like Chewy is.

@much2say — no, but they never give me a menu because I always get the same thing.

Harvey is the titular character in the movie Harvey, one of my favorite James Stewart movies. He’s a pooka, manifesting as a six-foot tall rabbit that only Elwood (Stewart) can see.

Did you start to have separation anxiety and withdrawal symptoms from being away from Chuy’s for so long?

@moffittjc — try running from the cops with no salsa in your blood!

@FourWalls Yes, that would do it for sure!
Either that, or running from the cops.

I think a lot of it with me is stopping to smell the roses. There was a lovely waterfall I found in West Virginia a couple of years ago. I’d driven by that thing a million times on the way to home or back to the base, but never stopped to look at it.

@FourWalls I think it adds up to be a great trip when you can stop and visit whatever you pass.

The journey is part of the joy, not wimpy at all.

Glad I’m home, too. Threats of bad weather over the weekend make this the best place to be!

I think that was my main problem: Chuy’s salsa withdrawals!
Thanks!
