Illinois in 3 days-
I was transferred over to team Illinois on Friday AM, July 20th- Joe Ihm and Paul Weslowski from RIC and a friend and former patient, Gary Gerst. Heather and Chris Plastaras joined us on Sunday. Its great to have people to ride with. The only problem is I can't remember which person I told which story. We were chased by a couple of wimpy little dogs today. Both were no bigger than most of my meals. I think I could have taken either one. We found an exceptional restaurant in Effingham called the Firefly Grill. Yes, I said in Effingham. I know I talk about food too much, but it does make up a lot of my awake thoughts on the road. 7 states down,5 to go.
