COUNTIES (1993) I begin to live in interesting times, as I take a job requiring lots of travel for trade shows, my second marriage fails, and I end up unemployed and homeless. Trip Details: Flew to Fort Myers for a DC Comics wholesaler's meeting, outbound flight stopping in Atlanta, inbound flight stopping in Nashville and Chicago. Moved by air to Chicago. Flew to Newark, New Jersey, then drove to Parsippany for a trade show; while there, drove to Philadelphia suburbs to deliver merchandise to QVC. Drove to Atlanta for trade show. Flew to Dallas for trade show, plane stopping in New Orleans and Houston (later drove through both cities). Flew to Charlotte for trade show, flight stopping in Pittsburgh, then to Newark for trade show in Manhattan, flight stopping in Baltimore (later drove through all cities). Drove to Atlanta for another trade show. Drove to Neil Gaiman's farm in western Wisconsin to pick up several thousand signed copies of Sandman #50. Drove to Kansas City and back to recover my possessions after my second wife left. Drove to San Diego, via Austin, for trade show; returned to Chicago via Spokane, Washington, and got fired when I returned because of personality conflicts with the boss's wife. Drove to Kansas City, then Dallas, then to Richmond, Virginia via Chicago. Drove back to Dallas via Indianapolis. Moved to Tulsa. Moved back to Dallas.
