> Okay fine Tabitha! We will drive the southern route across the USA AFTER dropping down your way for a slumber party. Can you put up me, KK, Daisy, GG, Spoc, and all the other gals invited by KK and the gang??
<<<<< I'm so glad to hear you say that Zen, now I feel much less silly for already being packed and standing here with my nose pressed against the glass, waiting for y'all to pull up (I assume I'll hear you coming from a mile away, either due to the beater car we ended up with or disturbing the peace)!
I was gonna try telling you that I could earn my keep by fixing the engine when we break down (and we will), and sweet talking the cops when we get pulled over (and we will), but it would have all been a lie because I'm actually not good at those things. Thanks for saving me from being a liar!
All I have to contribute is my fine self, huh? Let's see, what else am I good for... I'm good at making something interesting about monotonous, routine details (each prairie dog, country store or strip mall can remind me of a story or joke, but I'm good at shutting up too); I can be the driver for as long as anyone lets me; I can get things rolling each day by being a not-too-annoying morning person (unless I went to sleep at 4 AM eating Twinkies, Fritos and jelly beans -- then I can be a bit crabby in the morning); and I'm quite strong -- can toss all our luggage around like styrofoam whenever we disembark and re-embark.
That will be important, because I sense that we'll be stumbling into several side trips along the way -- meeting fun people and hopping a ship here, meeting fun people and hopping a private plane there. (But what gives, between all those fun people you'd think someone could carry the luggage for us!)
We WILL be driving a convertible, won't we?? I just can't picture it any other way. And can we listen to music in "era blocks," covering the sixties to present; from the moving to the headbanging? That always brings out so many good stories.
Ok, my nose is still against the glass -- don't make me jump into the car from an overpass, get over here!! (P.S... Greetings Zen! :)
