February

It's actually a pretty eventful 28 days.  James continues work at Nunu Chocolates until the middle of the month, and then drives 14 hours to Chicago in the ill-fated Chevy Prizm, which still seems to be hanging on for dear life.   Despite the fact that the car appears to be in some kind of remission, James and Tara try to work out another plan, but there is no other way he can travel with three guitars, six amplifiers and a hot air balloon.  Tara flies to the windy city on the same evening, arriving just an hour behind James.  They spend the weekend eating and loafing with their wonderful friends, Tabitha and Shawn McKown, with James staying on for two weeks to record an album that he and Shawn have been working on via the internet for the last year.

James: Doesn't it sound great, Shawn?
Shawn: (Wince)

At the end of the month, Tara travels to Shrewsbury, Massachusetts with her dad to judge a speech meet and returns to the city with her brother, Jordan, who plays a rollicking gig at the Irish whiskey bar, Failte.  James returns home in a louder, angrier Prizm.
