Episode 1: Gouda
It had already been a long, cold winter and it was only the
end of January. There was only one thing
to do… get out of town. I set my sights
for Florida, but somehow made a wrong turn once I reached Interstate 81. I ended up heading north instead of south. A rookie mistake. No problem, though. At the first rest area I’d turn around. Pulling off the expressway I stopped near a
picnic table to walk the dog before heading for the facilities to relieve
myself of the large tankard of coffee I’d been nursing since leaving
Rochester. Approaching the picnic table I
was perplexed to find a round object wrapped in red wax. What was a wheel of gouda
doing there? Perhaps another traveller had left it. Then I noticed a note was attached.
