Houston, We Have Landed

We got to Houston, our intermediate destination. Today, I have an MRI, then a sleep study and a lumbar puncture, all as part of a study on REM Behavior Disorder (RBD), which is another way of saying that I tend to be very active when I dream. I'll be in the same medical center as Gabby Gifford, the Arizona congresswoman who is recovering from her gunshot injuries.

We stay in Houston until Thursday, then hit the road again.

When I say "hit the road," I mean that literally. We bought a car and will meander north and east. If you see a dark blue Honda CR-V doing some sight seeing, it may just be us! Not much else to say for the moment ... we are studying maps and trying to decide whether we would rather brave the slow flooding of the Mississippi River, or the storms of tornado alley. Eventually, we have to confront both.
