Daughter and he hubby just hit the road. She'll miss many of her friends here after two years, but there's social media for that.

I remember when they moved in to their basement apartment. Couple upstairs. Guy was working on his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, said he had about "6 months" left. He's still nowhere near graduating, yet.

Are Trail Running Shoes Good for Road Running?
