As I drove around the other day. I had trouble finding a song I wanted to listen to on the radio. Given that I have satellite radio, that really bothered me. I should always find something I like on there.
Eventually, I did come across a good song and bopped to the beat as I cruised down the road. As the end of the song neared, I came to a horrible realization.
I had just willingly enjoyed a song from “High School Musical 2.”
With the holiday approaching, I know we will spend a lot of time together in the car. I start to have flashbacks when that happens.
As a kid, we did a ton of traveling. We drove pretty much all up and down the East Coast. I think I had visited every coastal state by the time I was 6.
I’ve done my time in the car.
I stopped by to see Maria at work last weekend. She just started working at a shop called Treasures downtown. I had nothing better to do since it was near the end of the Thanksgiving holiday.
With several days off, Maria at work, and Bridget spending several days at my mother-in-law’s, I had lots of time to kill. Luckily, I have almost qualified for an advanced degree in wasting excess free time. I looked at the few days as a challenge, not a burden.
I did the things that I do best. I played video games. I practiced my guitar. I watched a few of my favorite “Leave it to Beaver” episodes.
