Day 11
I finished that OJ Simpson book. I don't think I learned much about football.
Day 12
The guys decided to award me a big championship belt to celebrate my strength and charm. It's an odd shape, and it fits a little snug, but they seem eager for me to wear it, so I will out of gratitude for their recognition of my prowess.
It's kinda strange, they keep insisting I wear it, but only when I'm out on deck. Must be part of the culture here, showing off a gift when you're out and about.
Day 13
So I fell overboard again. I must be getting better at swimming though, because I just floated there while they turned back and got me. Something strange happened though, they kept talking about how I'm lucky the "boy" saved me, but the dude who pulled me in looks about 60. Doesn't look like much of a boy to me. Must be a character building thing, keeps him feeling young.
Day 14 - Morning
We finally reached the Americas! After two weeks of sailing here I've arrived safe and sound in Galveston, Texas. It's a lot warmer than Ireland, that's for sure!
I arrived to a letter waiting for me, from home. It's my beautiful mother letting me know my younger cousin, Grug, wanted to follow in my footsteps. Except he didn't want to follow, he wanted to get there before me, the bastard! He's always been better in school, faster, and more handsome than me. Can't he just let me do this one by myself? His flight leaves Ireland in a few hours and he'll be in California before I am, since we've booked an RV to get us there.
I need to come up with a cunning plan to change his mind. This will take some thinking.
Day 14 - Afternoon
I sent Grug an email containing screenshots of the current temperatures here. He's typically shirtless and at the beach when it hits 75F back home. So I sent him a screenshot of the 110F summer weather forecasts.
Day 14 - Evening
I got a response from Grug. "I'm gonna give cricket a shot, headed to London".
Crisis averted.
Day 16
It's been a fun couple of days on the road. I'm seeing all the best sights in Texas, from Costco to Walmart.
Speaking of which, I did some shopping and loaded up on some classic American foods. Twinkies, Doritos, Whataburger... getting a real taste of America now. It kinda tastes like heartburn.
OMG THEIR FAST FOOD JOINTS GIVE UNLIMITED DRINK REFILLS. AND YOU DO IT YOURSELF! I'm in heaven. Also had my first, second, and third taste of Taco Bell today. Not bad at all.
Day 17
Travel on the road was slow today, had to keep making toilet breaks for some reason. Must be driving sickness.
The draft is tomorrow, I'm not gonna make it to [DRAFT LOCATION] in time, so I'll just have to get the news on the road, and then head to my new home.
I'm gonna keep heading north though, just feels right for now.
When I parked the RV to crash for the night, I saw a big dog... or was it a small wolf? Whatever it was, it looked cool silhouetted by the rising moon, as it raised its head and howled towards me.
OWOOOoooOOOOooo
