Just Drive

I'm taking off in my Impala to Fresno for work this afternoon, staying overnight tonight, working tomorrow and then driving back. That's a 3-hour drive each way, 500 miles roundtrip, 96 degree weather there - thank goodness, my hotel has a pool, so I'll get some pool time and a bit of color, always make the most of work travel. I've packed up my mixed compilation CDs, Italian language CDs, some snacks, water, and I'm ready for the road with a full tank of gas. The open road always helps to clear my head as I put pedal to the metal and speed away from all that irks me and gets under my skin, sing to my songs, scream into the wind, leave it all behind temporarily as I work through it. Road equals peace of mind.
