Day 50, Woo Hoo! It’s also President’s Day (observed).
Traffic was exceedingly light when I went to pick up my friend at the airport this morning in my wife’s white minivan. It should have been rush hour traffic, but it looked lighter than Sunday AM traffic. I got there 30 minutes early as a result.
Traffic had more or less returned to normal by lunchtime when I drove out to Los Gatos to have lunch with a friend (good beer at the Los Gatos Brewery – thanks Mark!).
There were police everywhere today, and in the yellow car, I felt quite vulnerable. Even though I was on my best behavior, I had a motorcycle cop follow me throughout Los Gatos until I got on to the freeway. It was a bit unnerving.
My wife and kids are off this week, so this will not be a normal week for me. As I was driving home, I saw my two children walking to a strip mall in search of food. I ditched the yellow car and grabbed the blue car (two more seats) and picked them up. We had a wonderful lunch together.
The evening was spent at a mission meeting.
Gee, I drove all three family cars today!
Day 50 mood: I felt like I was on the road all day, but each “drive” had meaning. It was an excellent day!
