Hi, Stan:

Somewhere just over 25,000� living cheap 'cause we gotta. 

Our goal was 1,000 per month max., so I've been accruing miles like an airline credit card. After a summer of backpacking in Washington, we might blaze ( < insert quotes there ) to a race at Mid-Ohio in September, then to Vermont and Maine for fall, and along the coasts all winter all the way to Texas. 

That is, unless we find a fitting housesitting deal for me to write my novel this winter instead. Considering three now.

Thanks, Stan. :-)
