Tonight I was planning on...

...telling you all the bizarre and funny story about my trip back through the Virginia and Maryland state roads this past Saturday.

About the big plastic sheet that got caught on my axle or shaft or whatever the hell it was, and this guy yelling at me from his Jeep to pull the hell over, and me thinking it was another good-times confrontation, but it was really just a nice guy trying to save me from major car issues out in the middle of nowhere. And then with me stretched out under the car a few minutes later, on the side of the road, with the guy, yanking hot and melty plastic sheeting out from under my car. (A side note: under-the-car is a scary place I'd rather not ever visit again, as I really don't want to know what that crap under there is, as it looks a little suspect as a solid enough system to be carrying me along any damn roads.)

And I was gonna tell you about the weird crap my elderly relative said and did that does the opposite of endearing me to said relative, but I'm stuck, so I might as well laugh, and I figured you might wanna help me out there.

And I was gonna tell you about the Reno 911 kinda cop that pulled me over in Surreal-ville at about 11:00 pm in Nowhere, Maryland, and how that all worked out.

But no.

I'm drinking right now. Shit is going on, and I'm drinking. I just received a phone call that went right through me. Whatever.

Anyway, I'm truly looking forward to seeing everyone and hearing everyone. Hope you all are ready to post, because I'm really ready for some good listening. I'll pop a voices post on here tomorrow night.

Bye for now.

Robin, I hope whatever is going on is okay, or will be in the long run.

Stuff like that is never fun.

I hope it isn't too serious, Robin. Keeping my fingers crossed . . .

Enjoy your tipple and I do hope all the shittiness blows over soon.

And when it does (and fingers crossed it's already an unsavory memory) I really want to hear all those funny stories you would've liked to have shared if that cloud hadn't dropped on you.

Thanks, guys!


(I feel bad and whiny about this now.)

I'll do a post about the whole thing maybe next week, after I recoup some of my lost perspective.
