News From Poughkeepsie – Day 141

…And we’re back! It’s a Christmas Miracle!

I’ll be honest, I missed you guys. Hiatus ended up taking longer than usual, due to a very important project that I cannot talk about just yet. It’s big, though. Super big. I’ll say more about it when I can.

It’s nearly Christmas, which puts me in the mind of road trips. My family is a handful of states away, so the holidays are chock full with plane reservations and Google maps printouts. Some might brush off the journey as a means to end, but to me, the distance traveled has always been as important as the destination.

After all, how can you get to where you’re going, if you don’t know where you are?

Road trip..though Purgatory.

“Hey, Bea. It’s Dante. No, I can just barely hear you. No, No…it’s not Hell. It’s Purgatory… PURGATORY!!! Yeah, I didn’t think there’d be service out here either.

I think this is the Fourth Terrace….I SAID THE FOURTH TERRACE!! YEAH! LOTTA ANGRY PEOPLE! RIGHT! Hey, I think I see your Uncle Dave! YOUR UNCLE DAVE! Nah, I’ll leave ‘im alone. I’m glad he’s dead, too.

Look, Virgil says we’ve got to keep going, I’ll let you know when we reach the sumit. I SAID I’ll CALL YOU BACK WHEN WE REACH THE SUMMIT! OF PURGATORY! PURGAT–LISTEN, I’LL JUST CALL YOU BACK, OKAY?”
