Dear Tripsters -

I have so enjoyed reading your escapades and being a big fan of Elvis myself, envy your journey. It's been great to live your trip and the writing is fantastic. I know it's over now, but can't wait to read the final days. Thanks for sharing...

Tom, you old Hound Dog (and those other Teddy Bears)! We’ll be All Shook Up if you end up singing Jailhouse Rock in the Heartbreak Hotel for even One Night, In the Ghetto. So Don’t be Cruel to that Hard Headed Woman, Crying in the Chapel. A Big Hunk O’Love, Burning Love that’s Stuck on You is asking, Are You Lonesome Tonight? I Beg of You, Don’t Surrender that Good Luck Charm. I Feel so Bad, A Fool Such as I, (and Your Little Sister, too) to think the Devil in Disguise could deter your trip. Don’t Cry Daddy, It’s Now or Never. (Wow, Too Much!) Get back safe so you can dance the Bossa Nova Baby in your Blue Suede Shoes. Oh, The Wonder of You. So Love Me, Love Me Tender, as we Can’t Help Falling in Love with you.

From:Janelle

Wiley, are you working on your trip? I read the Day 6 Journal and I am concerned. Shame on you. It is people like you that make it hard for folks who do simular work to take a vacation! NOW RELAX, READ A BOOK and for goodness sakes eat slowly!

Janelle

P.S. Who is this Elvis you keep mentioning?

philosopher king's training and diet schedule

Comments

Dear Presleynuts:
The PK is not supposed to eat krispeeee kremeees, or chocolate donuts, or fried chicken because he's supposed to be in dietary training. That means pushups, crunches, sprints through cemeteries or running in place on crypts, or whatever allows for the exercise that people above ground often do to keep from going down under prematurely.

Otherwise, PK has a tendency to become a one-man krispee kreme himself. Actually, Tasteykakes, though still bad, are less filling. Please advise PK as the intellectural journey winds up that he faces the reality a tough training schedule come monday, and possibly a Live Springstein comeback.

thanks. The Shadow (knows).

Last night we had a successful transfer of digital images from the GUYS on the road from Days 1-3. They are now TECHNO wizards! Had to resize and lighten images. Will post them today (Tues, Aug. 13th).

Rusty 'the Wonder Dog' has become a key member of the team. -Mayling

Wow ... what a fantastic journey you all are taking! I must say from the working ranks that I am envious. Have a great time ... and do follow Steve M's sage advice - as much as he doesn't look too bright, he does know what he's talking about!

Best, -David S.

Rick,

Two things - First, stay away from large late night gatherings involving bonfires and white linens - they might look inviting , but clearly they are not!!!

Second, if you don't make it back - who gets the Impala???

Have fun and be safe.

Yesterday's journey was amazing - my jaws hurt from laughing. How could we become so lost???? The question the "Band of Brothers" must address is "Can we find Memphis?" or "Will we ever find our way home?"

The capacity of this group for food is astounding - five meals a day plus endless snacking on the bus. we cannot pass a truck stop without stopping for a meal - and those meals are not tofu and salad.

The most intriguing aspect of the dining is how well the group bonds with a variety of waitresses, truck drivers, and cashiers in the restaurants and stuck stops. Led by our fearless leader, Col Pearson, we clearly feel comfortable in our new social milieu.

Wish us luck.

On to Memphis (or where ever we end up)

Rick

The GUYS found a USB cord (finally) to download the pictures from the digital camera to Wiley laptop.

They are going to email me pic's starting this evening (Sunday night). So we should be able to see images of thier carnage soon - tonight or tomorrow morning.

Yipee! The first 2 days of the journal are posted so we can at least read along. -Mayling

Hi guys how goes it? We are all anxiously awaiting Tom's daily diary. It's omission is generating rumors of spare-rib overdoses and Rebel Yell hangovers. I advise everyone these are false. Hope you are all doing well and having a great time. Bill, Rosemary, Keith, Michael, and Brendan

What an amazing journey. Sorry I couldn't talk when you called -- was on the other line with Adam's roommate's mother.

Still pitching your trip to the media. Belmont Citizen definitely wants your story and photo/s when you return. Will keep you posted re: other interest, if we get a bit.

Safe travel!

Much gratitude and admiration to Mayling for creating and updating this site, and to our scribe Mr. Corcoran for his keen insight and brilliant prose. P.S. Rusty the dog is darling. Not so sure about the ER nurse. Jane
