Last Night in Penn State. We Had a Slow Day of Porch Down Time, Then Hit a Brewery for Pizza and Ice Cream. Also, Great Rains

Waking up and heading north through Williamsport towards Elmira/Ithaca, taking a new way into Syracuse as I head up to the folks one last time before the holidays. Karal had a good time with many people to be a nuisance to, especially at the brewery when it was an absolute downpour. Have to admit, the pizza truck was pretty pathetic, but we ate on through and countered the bad experience with an incredible ice cream one. Nothing like farmland dairy. So fresh. 

As I drive home, Juliette and Justin should be having Juniper, Kris's academic friend should be replacing my space in the house, and I'll be listening to some book or other, while taking in new angles while being in a New York State of Mindfulness. 

(and hoping my intestines aren't disrupted by ice cream or the cheese on the nasty pizza)

Kris and Dave warned me that eating out was slim pickins' in State College. I didn't believe then, but now I know. Now sure how a college town survives without numerous choices for good food...but Pennsylvania has its reputation for a reason 

Looking forward to a week in Syracuse before charging ahead in the Fall semester. 

And here we go.
