My road trip to Texas started today after work.  Around 3:00 today I realized that I wasn’t going to get everything done that I wanted to for the day.  Actually I realized that around 10:00 but I tried to convince myself it could happen. 

I did take a break after lunch to open a package I was expecting.  It contained my new Canon 50mm F1.2 lens.  I will write a post after spending some time with the lens but after mounting it on my Canon 5D Mark II, all I can say is WOW.  This lens/body combination just feels right in your hands.  The weight seems perfectly balanced. 

So after I blasted through the rest of my todo list I headed home to finish packing and say some goodbyes.  We loaded up the car and Jason and I were off.  The first leg of our trip was to Buffalo.  The drive from Albany to Buffalo has to be one of the most boring drives there is.  You basically head west on the Thruway for 4.25 hours.  Every 10-15 miles you see a rest stop with either a Mobil/Burger King or Sunoco/McDonalds.  Repeat and repeat.

Tomorrow is our long drive day.  We are jamming out early to try to get to Louisville by late afternoon.  On top for later that night is a stop at duelin’ piano bar.  We are still open for a place for dinner. 

That’s all for tonight, we need to get an early start tomorrow.
