Ride in the Corvette before goodbye
Tomorrow I leave right from work for vacation. I won't have access to the internet where I'll be (or at least I don't expect to. I'm going to the wilds of California... and back here at the end of July.
Speaking of July, I just got back from my sister Julie's house. I had to drop my car there; otherwise I'd get at least one ticket here in town. Julie wasn't home from work yet, so I hung out with my brother-in-law for a little while. He wanted to run an errand, so he said, "Ever have a ride in the Corvette?"
No, I hadn't. In fact, I'd never been in a Corvette. He put the top down and went to the highway, just for a run. It was SO COOL. I felt like a teenager. He was listening to this oldies station, oh the songs were so old... for him it was high-school nostalgia... for me they kind of rang a distant bell...
Anyway, the wind blew my hair all over the place. I stuck my arms in the air and whoo-hoo'd and all that obligatory fast-convertible stuff, and it was such a great way to unwind, esp. after the busy work week I've had, trying to finish everything before taking off.
So, take care folks, I'll be back... pray that Bush and Cheney are caught and convicted before the month is out.
In the immortal words of Leon Russell, "I'll watch the sun go down, listen to the sea roll in... and I'll be thinking of you, and how it might have been. Well I hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island."
