"Movin' right along, foot-loose and fancy free. Gettin' there is half the fun, come share it with me." Or so go the words to one of the songs from Henry's favorite CD (The Muppets Greatest Hits, of course). Very appropriate considering that we all have moved right along, saying a sad goodbye to Mississippi (and, therefore, to Ichiban, Thacker Mountain Radio, coolickles, Hill Country Picnics, Big Truck Theater, Bottletree, gas station-sold pimento cheese, and the Shack-Up Inn) and a hello to Georgia (including boiled peanuts, Ikea, Dogwood Festivals, and severe drought).
Maybe it was foreshadowing when Henry used to spend much of the time on his changing table staring at this piece of folk art titled "Georgia Watermelon."
Henry adjusts the rear view mirror as he prepares for the journey ahead...
