Remember watching Looney Tunes as a kid, and the windy off-base maps they would show of a character traveling? That's what my day felt like. My goals of peacefulness and writing daily were truly tested, though it was certainly an adventure :-)
It was one of those days that was so long, by the end the events of the morning felt like a distant memory.
Before I had even acquired my first cup of coffee, the fun had begun with a bizarre city truck drag race coming towards me on Shelburne Road. It's hard to know if the big orange truck's horn was battle-cry or hello, but it certainly got everyone's attention.
Coffee in hand, the drive to Stowe was uneventful, aside from the meditation that accompanies lots of windshield time.... as the caffiene kicked in, the synapses exploded with jewelry inspirations and marketing ideas that unfortunately escaped capture. All that remains of them are a vague idea for Roman-style wrist cuffs (that I've owed a go0d friend for over a year now) involving multiple tapered pieces riveted together and the phrase "elegantly simple, wearable, and affordable".... With those pieces, I shall build the puzzle.
Jamaica, as it turns out, is really, really far away. Even the one in Vermont. After being involved in the rescue of two escaped pups and taking in the tour of Stratton Mountain Resort, I finally found the right Black Bear Road and found the castle in the heart of the forest.
A couple more jaunts up excessively long driveways in the heart of ski country, trudging through the snow to impart my wisdom, and I could finally head home. Too late to be riding off into the sunset, too late to make it to yoga class. But what can you do? I'll tell you what you can do-- grab a glass of wine and make the best of it!
