Fifty Before Forty

Just in time for my big four-oh, I finally made it to my fiftieth state, Oklahoma.  I flew into Dallas last night, overnighted there, then fetched a rental car and drove up to Oklahoma City this morning.  My God, what a long four hours that was!  It's a pretty boring drive, but I can now say I've been to every state!  There are some I want to loop back to (I was only nominally in New Hampshire, Kansas, Idaho, and Michigan), but this is still a milestone for me.

As I type, I'm freshly back from the Oklahoma City bombing memorial.  I was very impressed.  I wasn't to going to go to the museum, just the memorial, but I did and I'm glad I did.  I'll be putting more verbiage and photos on my site later, but, for now, here's a taste of the beautiful and elegant reflecting pool and one of the gates.
