Wind In The Hair

An old friend of mine and I have been reacquainted recently. Since we hadn't seen each other for twenty years, we decided to make a list of all the stuff that we should have been doing together if we had been in touch during those lost years. The list included, but was not limited to, things like making cookies together, going to proms together, and celebrating various holidays together. Also on the list: road trips.

So we will soon be driving together to New England from New Jersey. I am absurdly excited about the road trip. I love getting in the car and going. Windows down, music rocking, and the wind in my hair . . . that's a little slice of heaven for me.

I have mixed feelings about the destination. I'm looking forward to visiting New Hampshire and the beauty of that place; it always takes my breath away a little. It will be the first time I'll be seeing my Dad's place since he passed away in November. Actually, the whole reason for the road trip is to tie up some loose ends regarding my Dad's estate. I know how I think I will feel, but I am often wrong. My own expectations are not a good predictor of what will really happen.

I have good intentions of trying to keep up with this little blog while I am traveling, but while it is possible it's not probable. I'll see you all in a week, with new stories to share and maybe some insight. Be well, everybody . . . hope you all get some wind in your hair.
