The wife says – lets take a road trip
I say, that sounds great – where?
She says, anywhere lets just go.
I say, east – How about Thursday?
She says, yes
Here's the problem. As the week came
closer to Thursday we thought how much better it would be to leave
early – Wednesday night. Sounded like such a good idea at the time.
I just want to say right now, leaving at 12:10 am Thursday morning is
not Wednesday!! Right? Come on agree with me.
So here we are Thursday, early, in the
car going where? We don't really know but I do know its east - 30
minutes into the drive she's asleep. Thanks for the conversation, it
was short but it was sweet. Who knew the seat of a car is so much
more comfortable than a real bed - GEEEEZ...
A MacDonald's is up ahead, I stop and get
coffee – nothing else is going to keep me awake.
Back on the
freeway heading east, swing in behind a huge semi I start drafting –
saves gas for those who are asking WHY? WHY? Its what I do – accept
it. Two hours later I am about done and my coffee is gone. I can maybe make
½ hour more. Up ahead is a town large enough to have a hotel where
they actually use fitted sheets (that is another story).
BTW – is it wrong to throw water
melon rinds over the top of a car in the wee-morning hours into a bar
pit? Just a moral dilemma that is kind of bugging me.
So here I sit typing this stupid blog
post waiting for the woman of my dreams to wake up and I'm wondering
– this is a road trip? And, where am I anyway? Oh yeah – east.

Sylvia> Actually this trip is done and over....but I did write this while on the trip. Thanks for the comment. I am really glad your family is all together. Special!
Ah well you'd better tell us more about how the trip went. And welcome back.
So good to see that you are back blogging. I would love to hear the rest of the story...
Such a delight seeing this familiar address on my reading list.
Spontaneity is such fun and a great rut breaker, even if the rut is comfortable.
Hope this means you are taking up the keyboard again.
Hmmm... Mrs Gq was trying to get Gq to post something on this blog... Like Brighid above, I would like to know more. Did you take any pics? Meet anyone interesting? Yeh dil mange more :)
I love road trips! Hubby doesn't like driving, but he does in order for me to do drive-by shootings! PHotos, I mean! Fun post.
Why hello. Thanks for dropping by.
A road trip east is the sort of thing I would have years back. But I usually headed south.
Now I take last minute vacations to any nice resort on a two day's notice. Hubby comes occasionally. Buddy is my travel comanion.
Do give us more. I think the wife might have fallen asleep in daytime too. Cars purring have that effecy. Babies usually do well in cars if they won't sleep in their cribs.
