## Resource

In this episode, recorded from his friend David’s house in Tennessee, Tom gives a relaxed road trip update. He’s enjoyed his time in the South — the mountain air, the heat, and especially the Southern hospitality. He confirms he’ll be leaving Tennessee on Sunday afternoon and heading to Illinois to meet his friend Joel for the first time in person. He’s planning to stay there until the 16th before continuing west toward Missouri. Tom also reflects that the real highlight of the trip so far hasn’t been the driving or the scenery, but finally meeting his friends face-to-face after knowing them online for years. A calm, easy-going “virtual diary” episode straight from the American road. See you next week, keeper. Safe travels to Illinois.
