The John Wall song is bumping in my impala as Walt hits the rumble strips. We’re rolling through Wichita, Kansas. It’s the WQ, (Ellis “the grime master” Libby, Tom “Walt” Gisler, Wade “the MVP” Chitwood, and myself “fireman”).
After our season game to an unfortunate end last night, we decided we need to salvage the spring break we have left. So after calling it a night around 2:30 a.m., we fired up Moyer around 5:30, packed our bags, and got on the road. We’ve now been driving for about 9 hours today. Our destination is Oklahoma City to hang with Bloomington Jefferson native and Thunder Rookie Cole Aldrich.
Tonight, the plan is to spend some quality time with Cole and potentially check out the Thunder practice facility.
Here are some highlights of the nine hour trip we have experienced so far:
an interaction with car of two Iowan ladies that were impressed by Lib’s dance moves while riding shotgun.
We heard a Northwestern Ad on the radio in Missouri...Represent 3003. #nwcnation
Getting tweeted at by Drew Shepp. Nice Lib. An offer has been made for steaks in Clear Lake IA.
We ran into a little town called Eagleville, Iowa. The only thing impressive about it was it’s name. Nice “Welcome to Eagleville Sign”….We’ll see if it’s still there when we journey back at the end of the week. Moyer could use some new signage.
Another highlight was the full quartet singing our ever popular “Dancing in the Moonlight”.
Ever since Walt’s iPod chord warmed up after 5 hours in the car, the tunes have been bumping.
Walt is a machine at the wheel and has been for almost four hours. Lib took the early shift and I put three hours of my own….Wade has been a bum and slept pretty much the whole time. He wakes up to eat, administer insulin to Walt, and ask if we’re there yet. #thatguy. #hibernation #nwcnation
Also a quick update on the tanning competition between myself and my girlfriend, Ali….I’m losing. Haven’t seen the sunlight all day. Looking for a strong comeback. I don’t want to refer to a spray tan on the way back...but I’m in it to win it. #gameface
