#127 Road Trippin’

Maybe it’s a bad case of nostalgia; or maybe it’s the fact that my kids are getting older; or maybe it’s because I canât afford the gas to drive to the edge of town. Whatever the reason, I’ve been thinking a lot about road trips lately.

A road trip is an express ticket out of your rut. Back home you may be bored with the routine. You know every local McDonald’s and Walmart and Radio Shack inside and out. A trip to a new town will expose you to new and exciting venues. Like early Presidential Primary Season, a road trip is positively stuffed with promises. Of course, when you arrive, you’ll find the new McDonald’s is pretty much like the old one; a “nice” Walmart is still a Walmart; and the inside of one Radio Shack is much like another.

A road trip isn’t about the destination, it’s about the journey.

Really….
