Road Warrior
Today I was on the road for a hurried round trip back to my old stomping grounds in extreme southwest Missouri - a total drive of 403 miles. It was a day spent with old friends that included a visit to a library, lunch in a trendy cellar, some time talking to a couple of friends in a nursing home, and, sadly, attendance at a funeral. I encountered some people whom I hadn't seen in decades.
Nursing homes and funerals - this phase of life has slipped up on me!
The drive was uneventful, no bumper stickers or other things of interest popped up to amuse or anger me as I ripped up and down the highway. I did see one interesting bumper sticker yesterday here in West Plains. A young man displayed a sticker on the rear of his car that said "I Don't Listen to the Liberal Media." "Good," I thought, "You probably can't handle the truth!"
Hopefully I can stay close to the farm for the next couple of weeks - and then I will be off for a weekend in Kansas City where son Tim and I have tickets to see "Kinky Boots" at the Starlight Theatre. That will be a nice way to welcome Fall!
