ok, so we made it home in record time.......possibly because we broke all land speed limits in 4 states..................and the phone was flashing messages...and the cat was hungry.......and the mail and papers piled on the front table......and i have consumed so much caffeine in the past 15 hours of driving/riding that i may never get to sleep...............the new york thruway is sooooooooooo long.......just getting past buffalo seemed a major accomplishment.........and then past the corner of pennsulvania....and into ohio, and from there on in the drive was no-big-deal.......as nearly every exit holds some sort of memory.......relatives, past homes/apartments, i can tell you the exit we took to get to my senior prom, the exits i could take to get to apartments/dorms in both college and grad school..............even the exit where my friend cynthia's boyfriend locked his keys in his trunk as we were driving up to her parent's summer home in the fingerlakes..........this is also the exit to my mother's sister's house.....and i can recall the temptation to call her for help...........but i did not as i was traveling with a boy i did not want to explain.....ah well.....such are memories, but to keep us awake on long trips................an entire state of memories it would seem..............all past now that i have lived in kentucky longer than i have lived anywhere.................so here i sit checking email...past midnight............only to find that some mail gets returned from that void that is cyberspace.....as undeliverable.............quite ironic...for words supposedly transferred at so many blips per minute..........i could have driven the message there myself, considering how far i have traveled in this day alone...........ah well...............i am hoping that god himself does not know i am home yet, as i plan to sleep in on sunday morning..................
