Goin' to Oklahoma Soon (Apologies to F. Zappa)

  On May 23rd, I will turn fifty.  Two days later, Jill & I will drive to Chicago, pick up The Jordanian, and embark on a road trip extraordinaire! Yes, it's off to Oklahoma, land of bison and tornadoes, to visit good friends Bayard and Sarah.
  We've been planning & anticipating the trip since January.  It will also include a side trip to Booked Up, Larry McMurtry's bookshop in Archer City, Texas.  Pix to follow.
  Life is good, brothers & sisters.
