Road Trip: Day 16
Teary goodbye with Mom this morning before she left for work. She said that there's still always the chance she might be in this house at Christmas, which would give me one last visit here. We'll see. If not, farewell to the home that sheltered me during my formative years. At least I've left my mark.
Should be out the door and on the road in the next hour. Hope to be in a state capital I've never seen before by the end of the day, if all goes well. Fortunately I have five new CDs for the car: Regina Carter, Chris Potter, Andrew Hill, SF Jazz Collective, and Brad Mehldau. A jazz lover's delight. And the Tigers are on XM this afternoon, fresh from beating the Rocket last night.
A good day to be on the road again, for sure. The non-urban part of the trip begins now. I'll be in Northern woods and relaxing on a beach before long.
About Me
- The Whining Stranger
- I am a bookish, neurotic type. Clinically anxious, musically inclined. I love jazz and sport and scotch and modern art and satellite radio and the people close to me (more than those other things). I have multiple versions of the same shirt and would sell my soul (well, figuratively) for a Karman Ghia. Sushi, a hoppy IPA, and an old Woody Allen movie in the DVD player or Thelonious Monk on the stereo and I'm in my happy place.

It sounds like you're having a wonderful trip so far.
That sounds so nice, relaxing - on a beach! I want to go on vacation.
Oh, I forgot! WS, I finished Dogs of Babel...I liked it, but I think didn't read with much enthusism (sp?) after a certain chapter...
I really felt for the characters - especially Lexy, but somewhere the plot just fizzled out for me.
Hey, PW, Lexy is indeed an intriguing character. But all that nonsense about the secret society was annoying, and Paul figures out Lexy's code way too easily.
Nice premise though.
