Drive on
Asheville, NC The morning came early yesterday. After weeks of sleeping until it was time to write, a 6 AM buzzer in my ear was not a welcome noise. I turned it off and was glad to hear Lake Ontario telling me to wake up. The waves were louder than usual and the wind was making its case. Mother Nature told me it was time. Rather than snoozing and laying there, I was up and headed down to the shower. I had a date with Black Beauty. She and I were making a run south, down to Asheville. I was excited at getting back on the road. 6 AM or not, I wiped the cobwebs out, got showered, grabbed my...

I hit most of the things on my to do list: Bank Gas Bills Laundry Pack Clean Car Print directions I did these, some not to the max, but I am ready.

Boston I did my part to break the Boston Red Sox curse. I hit Fenway and Yankee stadium this year. After being to Fenway and feeling the emotion of their fans, I became a Red Sox supporter. My team, the Reds, usually stink and fall out of the playoffs. Up until this year I had always pulled for the Yankees. The times have changed. Congrats to Boston and their fans. They needed it and they got it.

By MELISSA LANG / mlang@mpnewspapers.com Andrew Harrison spent five months on the road, living out of a car and acquaintances’ guest quarters, interviewing people from all walks of life and amassing more than 80 tape-recorded conversations – and he did it all so you won’t have to. “My goal is for people to realize, ‘Man, there’s more to life than just working...
