travelin' shoes

I like to get on the road from time to time. I was seriously restricted from prolonged trips when Mom was here, but from March to June of this year I was away from home for about six weeks total. Then the crunch of estate work started and I was hobbled once again. Now that's finished, and I can begin catching up with my friends.

The last time I saw Angela, when she still lived in NJ, was before we moved to Chicagoland. That was June 1990. I'm headed to Wilmington, NC to see her and Billy on Thursday, my first solo trip in my new wheels. I'm looking forward to loading up some good music and enjoying a little bit of unknown, open road. After D.C. and Richmond, that is.

I'm bringing her a gallon of Boodles gin and her custom Bouncin' Dog Greetings holiday cards. She's cooking me her usual gourmet meals. We're going to have some fun.
