on the road, from my iphone

I LOVE ROADTRIPS

they never get old to me.

and, it's a good thing 

because between living in the Chi

and my family&friends living in the Lou

there have been many of them

and MANY more, are sure to come.

the food is generally greasy

and fattening

so good, yet sooo bad.

the view can be boring:

corn and farms,

but i've learned to appreciate the openness

and quiet

and serenity

especially compared to the city noises

we stopped at the pink elephant

(i'm not sure if it's named the pink elephant,

but there is a MASSIVE one parked right out front,

so we'll just go with it)

an antique stop

it's a building that used to be an elementary school

it looks like a barn from the outside

there are old classrooms and a gym with a stage

all FILLED with old

stuff

SOMEONE likes to browse and thinks he's on one of those History Channel shows

ya know, American Pickers, or American Restoration?

yup. 

he draws himself to the bud light, budweiser, baseball, coca-cola goods

he's my all american boy.

and he's the BEST part of the roadtrips.

he lets me sing loud and proud for 5 hours

and he is very patient when i change the songs after

30 seconds of playing.

we learn a LOT about each other on the road

we discuss

our greatest fears

our goals and dreams

our past

and our future

(smile)

and trust me, my vocal chords take a break

especially when one of 'his' teams are playing.

ever listen to a game on the radio?

snore.
