Of course, these distances don't account for getting lost and doubling back a few times, avoiding an aggressive herd of heifers or navigating the moors.... or wandering off in search of a pint.

June 2014 = C2C, The Rerun

Yup, you got that right; we're doing the sequel, but unlike most, this one will be a box office hit!

Lauren and I are doing the Coast to Coast (C2C) again in June 2014!!!  Here's the most amazing part: it was HER idea!!  How'd I get so lucky?

I'm already excited, in spite of the fact that it's 13 months away!  Lots of planning and training to do, and then there's that pesky little issue of money.  It's not cheap spending three weeks on the road in merry ole England, you know.  Lots of pints out there.  So, I began in earnest looking for a real job again.  Ugh.

There's no way I can sell enough books (patti.lavell.com and
http://confessionsofacatholicschooldropout.blogspot.com/) to fund our cross-country adventure.  It's just not possible, unless Oprah stumbles across my book when one of her minions tosses it aside on their way back from the lou.  They say miracles can happen (and look, we did the walk on our first try!), but I'm not holding my breath, so it's into the trenches I go.

Wish me luck and please recommend my book to a friend.  Or someone you don't like for that matter.
