Columbia, MOToday, I drove 500 miles out from the snow, through some gloomyness, and then into a beautiful sunset, and to a nice college town. I used my first tank of diesel, and got 38 miles/gallon. I'm pretty damned excited about that. I'm currently drinking a beer in a cute college coffeeshop, listening to some 6 piece band, relaxing, and excited about road tripping. I made serious progress today, and that's positive. I'm looking forward to seeing friends in Oklahoma City tomorrow, and then on into Texas, and parts farther West. I miss being with elly: she's a great passenger and right hand girl. Its also nice to be alone, but doing something. I've spent a lot of time in the last few months being alone and not acutally focusing on self: just constant distractions. On the road, it's different. I can see things clearly. I can think about what matters, and what is superfluous crap that I'm obsessing about without need, or cause. I'm having fun in my new car. Every thing that happens is a new excitment in and of itself. First night drive! First 100 miles! (still in Chicago) First tape! (the DaVinci Code audiobook) First CD! (Talking Heads Stop Making Sense) Good stuff.
