After a final breakfast with Katie at Paradise Cafe, we left Tucson and headed for Texas. The drive was a little somber as we had to say hasta luego to Katie. It wasn't quite as sad for me because I will see Katie in ten days in Boston!
Our travels from Tucson to Odessa, Texas were very uneventful. Dad, Mom, and I had periods of good discussion about all kinds of topics. I drove two shifts and dad drove two. One of mine was 3 hours and 20 minutes. I hadn't drove that long straight through since going out to Juniata a few years ago. We covered around 620 miles today. The bad news, tomorrow we are hoping to go 640.
When we arrived in Odessa, the Phillies were trailing 2-0 to the Dodgers in the first game of the NL championship series. Within a few minutes of turning on the game in our motel room, Chase Utley hit a 2-run home run to tie the game. Two batters later, Pat Burrell hit a solo shot to take the lead! Brad Lidge came in to save the game in the 9th. The Phils won the first game of this series! It was a good way to relax after a long trip. Let's hope for the same result tomorrow, when the Phils play the Dodgers in Game 2.
