Road Trip of the Soul

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking out at the years gone by like so many summer fields
-Running on Empty, the great JB

I'm looking forward to road-tripping back to San Antonio in August. Texas and the Western U.S. are very good for road tripping. Not too hard, relatively flat, big skies, great for thinking. Nothing I love more than some precious time alone in my car, Jackson Browne and some other C.D.s blasting out of my car stereo, A/C just the way I like it, blue skies and the sun beating down upon my face, and a destination, to which I'll come to in time. . . . in time.
