This post is dedicated to our great friend and my worst driving critic, Jim Cook.
I recently discovered the following quote, adapted from the famous “Tis better to have loved…” This morning I keep repeating it to myself. It’s comforting.
“Tis better to have traveled and gotten lost than to never have traveled at all.” -George Santayana

You mean, these German words are confusing?
Well, what you really needed (aside from the trusty GPS) was your trusted translator: ie: Andrew Niesen!
Have fun!
Seems pretty straight forward to me.
I read the title of this post and I thought "oh no -- here he goes again".
I read the first line and I busted out laughing -- tis true -- I am his worst driving critic. But anyone who knows Garrett can't blame me! lol
Then I read the rest of the post and I am sad -- because I suspect I will never see my friends again.
Does anyone have the number for interpol so I can file a missing persons report?
I thought getting lost in Downtown Denver was bad...but that was nothing compared to this.
