"BEZZZZ-BALL BEEN BERI BERI GOOD TO ME!"
No rain, clear skies, brilliant sun - time to leave Boston and hit the road. HEY EVERYBODY! This is where we get to make another left turn and start heading west. We headed out of Boston and hit the Massachusetts Turnpike again - only this time we had the money to pay their extorition for riding on a public highway. Before we left Bob & Marie's we found the jar where their son keeps the money he's saving for college. He probably won't miss it, and besides, we think higher education is highly overated anyway.
The first stop on our way west was Cooperstown, New York. That's right! Home of the MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Hall of Fame. The folks there are really anal about using their names or trademarks and when they found out about our website they told us we were strictly forbidden from using words like MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, or the name of teams like, the DODGERS, or the YANKEES on the site. We told them to have their Harvard and Yale attorneys contact our night school Public Defender in New Orleans and we'll see who ass gets kicked. That was pretty much the end of tour, but we did get a chance to write our initials on Babe Ruth's jersey when nobody was looking. (Note: rebroadcast or retransmission of this website without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball is strictly prohibited, pat. pending, U.S. & Int'l trademarks and copyrights reserved and protected)
We wandered around Cooperstown for awhile and then started looking for a cheap motel for the night. Word apparently had spread about the incident at the Hall of Fame because "suddenly" nobody had any rooms available. We ended up driving 90 miles to some nameless town in western New York before we got a room at the Super 8 where they hadn't heard about the baseball situation. It's ironic that for the first half of the trip we were riding east in the mornings directly into the rising sun and now on our first day heading west we start late and end up riding into the evening and the setting sun. Look, we're just not that smart sometimes, but if we had the same opportunity as others to get a G.E.D. we'd know these things. Tomorrow, we are soooooooo outta here because we gotta keep heading west all the way to...
WE'RE HEADING WEST! On the steps of the MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL hall of Fame.
It's suspicious that Kevin's name isn't on the inductee list! THE TRIP AT HALFWAY - 5,700 miles!
Kevin-Don't feel to bad about not seeing your name in the baseball hall of fame. Its for steroid use only. You on the other hand are in the middle of a great career that will one day make you a member of a much more honored hall, The Beer Drinkers Hall of Fame. You are a shoe in on the first ballot considering all the friends you are making on this trip. Well OK, maybe the fourth or fifth ballot(something to do with that waitress in Memphis). Just think someday you can share the floor with others greats such as Billy Carter(Billy Beer), Mel Gibson,Ozzie Osborn and anyone with the last name Kennedy. Just stay away from the Betty Ford Clinic as you head west.

It's so cool that you guys got to see the Hall of Fame! Wow, so do they have like, wax figures of the greats? I can almost picture it...Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal, and even Larry Bird. That must have been awesome. Baseball is great. Too bad Kevin's just too short to really be a contender. Anyway, keep on keepin' on and remember the immortal words of Croce, "don't you know that I gotta get outa here cause New York's not my home."

These two are obviously a few clicks to the left, but we love them anyway. They can not be in a sound state of mind, they need help, and we will help them. Have a safe trip, remember there are alot of crazy people like yourselves on the highway. Take care.
guy and cary.
