5400 miles, that was the mileage on the Prius when Dan returned to Saint Louis today. Most of those miles were put on when Anne, Jay and Carl sojourned up to the cabin, but Dan’s double trips from Saugatuck to Saint Louis added a few more too. Anyway, both Dan and the Prius made it back to town intact. All of the traveled miles were not entirely sanctioned though, at least by me. Dan drove the Prius to downtown Detroit and played soccer on the field where the old Tiger stadium once stood. He broke his glasses while playing soccer and the next day found a nail in a tire. He ended up super gluing his glasses together and then bought a new tire. I am still not entirely pleased.

Dan’s art projects, as featured in the pictures with this post included a wood model of the boat, Keewatin, at least the front third of it, the part that was disconnected to fit through the Welland Canal, and then some sort of war of the worlds, old-time radio on stilt legs piece and his Vans. Pictured are an after art camp shoe and a new shoe. Dan also modeled his art camp T-shirt, “Camp Life”. He designed the lettering. We went to Dewey’s Pizza for dinner in Webster Groves. My now former co-worker Barbara had been egging me on to go eat there for some months. It was only after eating at the Webster Grove location that I realized that I had already dined at the U-City version of Dewey’s several times before.
