On the road again
Just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin’ music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway
We’re the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turnin’ our way, and our way

Is on the road again
I just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin’ music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway
We’re the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turnin’ our way, and our way

Is on the road again
Just can’t wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin’ music with my friends
And I can’t wait to get on the road again

And I can’t wait to get on the road again

– Willie Nelson

This is one of my karaoke go-to songs. Unless you have worked with me you have never seen me do karaoke.

Other songs in my repertoire:
Jeremy
Crazy
Luck Be A Lady
Creep (though I struggle with the high notes)
Killing In The Name
almost any Tom Petty song

I solved today’s Wordle in three attempts; my starter today was DRIFT

    Every time I hear “Crazy”, I think back to that great jukebox at Gravity Pub back when we played darts on Thursdays, and Trick belting it out, so far out of tune… good times.

    Also Wordle in 3 and Mini in far too long. Maybe I took “The L”? (must be a NYC thing.

    I don’t know when I last washed my car, but it was seriously long overdue. Last night was the night. I didn’t want to disturb the mushroom crop, so no vacuuming. It’s finally showing its age in a couple spots of peeling paint.

    The boss and I had a little chat about on site work yesterday. We came up with what I expected- I’m the Tuesday and Wednesday guy and Sam has Wednesday and Thursday and we only go in on Mondays and Fridays as needed- which won’t be often. Suits me just fine.

    I don’t know if you ever said where you’re going…

      the L is in Chicago. haven’t done the Mini yet.

      • Steve says:

        I thought maybe it was a reference to an L train (I know the L is in Chicago). I thought maybe someone who grew up in that area would comment. But he’s driving…

        • I wish I were driving. Second major delay in SC…

        • David says:

          “Take the L” means take the loss. It’s a modern, snarky way of calling someone a loser. “Give it up man, just take the L.” It’s the El in Chicago because the train is mostly elevated.

    Nice redirect from where you were yesterday afternoon. Well done.

    Wordle fail, NYT Mini in 1:31, but I did name that 80s tune on Heardle in 1 second. I can’t remember where I put my car keys, but a cheesy song from 40 years ago, well I can ace that. ¯\_(?)_/¯

    • Barb says:

      took me 3 tries on Heardle – Mini in just under 3.
      I’ll get to Wordle later.

      My cognitive test for the Emory brain study did make me feel very dumb. But the girl that did the test was very nice. Next up all the physical stuff – I get to do that in June. But – I’ll be $225 richer after it.

  3. Traffic in Gaffney South Carolina. On my way to Raleigh to hang out with the royalty for the weekend.

  4. Stopped at the NC Welcome Center Rest Area on 85N. Needed a nature break, a snack since my 0500 bowl of cereal wore off, and a moment to get some thoughts straight.

  5. Have arrived in Raleigh!

    Unfortunately the weather looks pretty shitty this weekend here. I wouldn’t mind pushing some of this rain onto WLF.

    • Habits are so hard to break. I used to send someone a text altering the person that I had arrived in Raleigh safely. There has been, and will continue to be a lot of habit breaking for awhile.

      I’ll break another habit on Monday, but you will have to read the blog then to find out what that one is. #tease

      • David says:

        There’s habits, and there’s muscle memory. The latter is way harder to unlearn. Be patient with yourself.

    Wordle in 5 starting with PIVOT just because it makes me laugh.
