This is the second post in a series about the realities of life as I have found them
“I’m just too busy for …” – How often have you heard this or thought this? The goal of every person at every stage of life is to feel comfortable in that stage of life. Until that happens time management will always seem like a challenge. This post will explore why most people feel that they do not have enough time in each day, why nobody older seems to care, and what to do to feel more efficient.

Finally got around to writing briefly about Shaily and my cross country drive in November 2008 from Arlington VA to Seattle WA. I’ve posted it on our website thearyafamily.com.
From now on you will see more and more family related postings on that site and this site to be more individual and technical stuff.
Here is a snippet from the writeup:
Road Trip 2008 – Pictures Online
In November 2008 Shaily and myself drove cross country from Arlington VA to Seattle WA. The trip took us slightly over four weeks. We started on Thursday October 30, 2008 and arrived in Seattle on Sunday November 29, 2008.
Along the way we saw and stayed with friends and relatives. After we ran out of friends and relatives we stayed at numerous Days Inn hotels (I can still taste the free breakfast) and one EconoLodge (wouldn’t recommend it).
We drove and drove, here is a rough map of our route:

We stayed with friends or family in: Philadelphia, Zanesville, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Portland, Seattle.
