Pulled out of a snowy driveway
at about 10:30 a.m....Indy bound for the night and then Arizona bound for the
next 6 weeks. Left the cats and the
house in Mike’s capable hands and we're on our way!
--------------------
The last few days we’ve been
sticking Post-it notes all over the counter...our pre-trip to do lists. J Yesterday and this morning was all about
checking off items on those lists....stop the mail, get and mail absentee
ballots, turn down heat, turn off all the Alexa lights, take sewing machines in
for annual maintenance, etc. Packed up and ready to rock n roll...take
off...and sure enough, we get on down the road and Kim says, “Shoot, I forgot
the drone.” Oh, well, while it’s fun to
play with it’s not a necessity and not worth the trouble of turning around. The bikes and the telescopes are along for the
adventure but, alas, no drone this year.
--------------------
I’ve been wracking my brain
for a title of this year’s trip....Arizona 2020 seems so blah and not at all
clever. On the way to Indy I even tried
to get Kim to help but our creative juices just weren’t flowing. Eventually a title came to me...I Can See Clearly Now. It was perfect! It would be play homage to the clear skies of
Arizona and the year 2020...and fit right in with my song title game. I ran it past Kim expecting him to understand
why it was such a great title. He
didn’t. I explained the clear skies
angle and how it’s 2020 and a person can see clearly with 2020 vision, blah,
blah, blah. He smiled indulgently, gave
his head a quick shake and said, “Oh-kay.” Yeah, perhaps my idea was a bit obscure
but I couldn’t shake it and honestly couldn’t come up with anything else so I
just modified it a bit by making I Can
See Clearly Now the subtitle. So it's still blah but now has just the right touch of clever...I'm satisfied.
Arizona 2020...
I Can See Clearly Now
--------------------
Got to Indy about 7:30 p.m.,
where Ezra, Anna and a wonderful supper of beef stroganoff awaited us. It was followed up by an evening of wide
ranging conversation and a bidet installation. 😀
