Update

I just wanted to take some time, just a mere 14 hours before I'm to board a bus to Washington, D.C., to update all of you faithful who keep tabs on this blog.

I think my last update was some time Wednesday, and so much has happened since then.

First, a few of the riders of the bus are going international.
Mary Bolling Brumby, 70, and her sister Josephine Bolling McCall, 66, were both interviewed and photographed by a French journalist Christope Ayad for a online publication called Liberation. I also was interviewed for his story which will run online on Tuesday.

I also had the opportunity to interview him, and I will post my Q & A on Tuesday too.

Second, my mom made it here Saturday afternoon from our little adopted hometown of Hinesville, Ga. For the military folks, it's a little town near Fort Stewart. For the non-military, it's about 45 minutes from Savannah, Ga. She and I spent the day running around picking up last minute items so we wont be cold.

Third, I did get my credentials. They arrived by FedEx Friday morning. Doug Abrahms made it happen by picking them up from the convention center in D.C., when he went to get his and then personally making sure they were overnighted. I owe you one Doug!

Lastly, I hope all of you got to meet just a few of the folks who are on this trip through my story that ran today. If not check it out at www.montgomeryadvertiser.com.
