However, I nearly herniated my abs reading The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. I mean. I laughed and shook and I really hope I read something THAT FUNNY again someday. @Blackfoot: A Dirty Job was pretty good.

Stick w/ drama... Too late now, or I'd have shipped up my copy of "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer...it's a factual account of the 96 Everest climbing disaster...very well written/read. OR, any of the John Grisham audio books...they're all good. @davidh…you’re right on about Fatty bubbling up and all…and then somebody (Hammer?) would take another picture of a world-record snotulum dangling…and we’d all be gagging and retching yet AGAIN.

I agree, @Cycling Jimbo, but the problem with that story is, Elden is a sensitive guy. Can you imagine him driving down the road, misty eyed, nose running, bubbling to The Hammer about which exit to take. It's not a particularly pretty picture....and believe me, someone would take a picture....and show his kids....and then.....show us. Racing in the Rain Garth Stein.

It's a great read, and I am imagining the audiobook will be outstanding. Have a great trip and have fun on the ride and in camp.

(twitter. blog, strava, iphone thingee). Without those tools I fear that should he get out on a Blue Highway between Tuscon and Alpine he would soon become the subject of a multi-state, search, maybe even a milk carton with his picture on it. Then again he is prone to Drama. The problem with Fatty driving the ‘Blue Highways’ is he’s a very connected kind of guy! (twitter. blog, strava, iphone thingee).

Plan accordingly, Blue Highways may inspire you to skip the Interstate and drive the backroads to/from Tucson. Have a great race. Second the notion from @davidh-marin,ca.

A great YA book we listened to on our last long drive about 2 teenage kids with cancer and trying to live life to the fullest. Funny, heartwarming, also a tear jerker at times. Even my daughter who always makes fun of me tearing up at movies, etc had a tear in her eye at one point. You will love it! The Fault in our Stars.
