In February my friend David’s wife reached out to see if I could make it up to the Fargo and Moorhead area to surprise him for his 40th birthday. In a twist of fate both he and his wife had been secretly planning surprise parties for each other at the same time. The confusion among their friends sadly spoiled the surprise element for both of them but surprise or not I said yes without hesitation. What started as a long weekend turned into a six day road trip covering nearly 2,200 miles.
