Road Trip! Thanks for This Life.

     July 2014 is almost over, but there's a lot more mid-summer fun to be had. There's a ton of music to be enjoyed, and parties yet to be attended.  We're about to hit the road again.  This time, to a House Concert to enjoy the talents of another fine singer songwriter.
     My GPS tells me it's about two and a half hours from my deck in Sanitaria Springs, NY, to Conchy Joe's patio and stage, in Lansdale, PA.
     It's an easy two and a half hour trip, and the listening experience at our destination will make it a pure joy.  There's good friends to share the ride with, and there'll be many familiar faces at the event.  Together, as they always do, this combination will make it a day to remember.
     Maybe this trip will be even more of a fond memory, since it's how Meg has decided she wants to spend her wedding anniversary.  Our anniversary is July 27th.  The few years it's been, have passed so quickly, that in my mind they seem like only weeks.
     It's going to be an amazing day, regardless of the weather, how well Tim Charron performs in Joe's backyard, or how satisfying the evening meal at Cooper's Cabana.  Cooper's is Meg's choice of where to enjoy her anniversary dinner, and I agree wholeheartedly.  It's going to be a great day because Meg and I enjoy each other's company, and sharing our time with good friends and good music.
     This blog entry was going to be a diatribe about safe driving.  A rant about how to keep from running me off the road on Interstate 81, and the PA Turnpike, during tomorrow's road trip.  However, I find it much more fulfilling to reflect on the time Meg and I have been together.  Time invested in raising our two children, the many wonderful things we've enjoyed doing together, and the good times we plan to continue enjoying for many years to come.
     Happy anniversary Meg!  I love you, and want you to know how much I appreciate that you've made my life so damn interesting, thus far.  It's been exciting, sweetheart.  I can't wait to see what happens next.
