Runnin Down a Dream
“It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down, I had the radio on, I was drivin’.”-Tom Petty Well… we did it. We ran down our dream: the road-trip-summer-vacation that we’ve talked about for decades and had been planning for months. When I pictured us driving “into the great wide open,” I usually visualized a flat stretch of road that faded into the horizon and, while we had plenty of flat stretches, we also had plenty of ups and downs and twists and turns, literally and figuratively..

Waiting for a bus when you have free time is no big deal, but becomes much more stressful when you’re running late. Waiting on…
