Skype is great, and I guess in the long scheme of things, no, I don't have that long to wait.

Christmas is around the corner.

And once more,
I could never spend as much time in a van/ any other form of land vehicle as you do.

And you wouldn't believe what kind of travel day I had today, it's not something I would wish on ANYONE.

Just wait until the load in...and the skype, that'll help too.

Load in and load out both suck equal amounts. :/
