In no particular order:
- Driving more than 1,200 miles in less than 1 week just too much, especially when driving it alone.
- Singing in the car is good. Singing loudly to country (the music of pain, yes, but curiously enough, also of driving) is better. Belting to show tunes (I favor Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat) is best, especially when accompanied by dramatic two-handed gestures that evoke mild to moderate alarm in those driving next to you.
- $10 in tolls for 10 hours isn't fun, but acceptable. $40 in tolls for approximately the same time/distance is not.
- F#$%^&* phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I sing in the car a lot to keep myself company. Humming or mouthing along to new songs on the radio can be fun. It's a bit appalling, however, when you find youself proclaiming that I want to Smack That! or vowing that I doan' want no minute man! (though, can't help but agree here. I just might not want to share that with the general public quite so gleefully). Then I waffle around thinking, Hey, great bass to EW! What are those kids singing these days! and God, I'm old. And a prude. Yuck!
- My favorite part of driving is the Vroom! Vroom! acceleration after the tolls. Yeah, V-6, and not afraid to use it! I shudder (tremble!) to think what I would be like with a V-8 engine *dreamy sigh.*
- 4 hours is a mite too long to spend sitting in traffic in Maryland, especially at midnight on a Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and maybe, just maybe, the stress of it all could be enough to induce actual tears of rage and frustration.
- God, I need an EZPass. What's wrong with me????? Why don't I just get one already??!!
- The Big Dig was a seriously bad idea. Highways shouldn't look like crazy spaghetti.
- Yikes, I'm 28 and therefore OLD and yet, yay! my birthday is here!!!
- 4.5 hours from Long Island to home - now that's why we drive fast. Oh yeah, babee!!
