day 12: okc part 1

So, here we are. 1:20am and we just decided to go to bed... only to discover all of our new air mattresses apparently have holes in them. Thankfully, Reid and Dann were able to find the holes within a few minutes, and even more thankfully, we had the hole patches handy and ready to apply.

Now all we have to do is wait 30 minutes for everything to dry and function properly. But I just heard that the latest episode of Lost will be finished downloading in approximately 30 minutes as well... meaning we won't actually be going to bed for the next hour and a half, since apparently Lost comes before sleep.

After an 8 hour trip driving down a lot of winding roads through the drizzle of Arkansas and Oklahoma and listening to a lot of Prager podcasts, we arrived in Oklahoma City. Here we're staying at our friend Joel's house (Tifah and I met him last spring on a singer/songwriter tour we played in Texas). Upon our arrival this evening, we hung out with Joel's roommate Joshon and Joshon's girlfriend Taylor. Joshon has traveled the world playing on various soccer teams, and Taylor teaches English to local Burmese refugees. Needless to say, it was like hanging out with fellow Boulderites (Boulderinians?), especially while sipping tea.

It's cold here. On this trip, I have constantly found myself wishing I had the body thermostat of a male - I seem to always be freezing, while Dann seems to always be burning up. We decided there is at least a 30 degree difference between the two of us...

Ooh, air mattresses are ready to go, and the others (hehe) have decided to watch Lost tomorrow. I am all about bed right now!
