altivoGot home about 6:30, after taking our "Dog and Pony Show" to Ohio for the weekend and then on the way home, driving in the most horrendous, pushy traffic I ever remember on the tollways between here and Quickcasey's. It was as if this had been a holiday weekend, when it's still two weeks to the beginning of that madhouse. Thank goodness I have a GPS in the car now, or I'd still be lost out there somewhere like Charlie on the MTA.
It was a really nice visit with the best foxes I know, Aerofox and Loriana. We had fun eating too much and joking around and going to the hamfest in Fort Wayne on Saturday. I didn't quite pass my license upgrade exam, but I had only gotten half way through the study book so scoring 35 out of 50 correct isn't really that bad. I got a better study guide and lots of advice afterwards. Then we went to antique stores in Van Wert, which was also fun. I like looking at old junque. Aero got a set of key caps from an old upright typewriter. I bought an old Walter Foster "How to Draw Series" book on Cowboys and Horses. Casey and Loriana both got some model railroad cars. It was all a nice diversion.
Thanks to all three for the mini-vacation. *hugs*

Date: 2009-11-28 03:33 pm (UTC)"Charlie on the MTA" is a 50 year old (more or less) folk song in the US about a guy who got stuck on public transit in Boston and couldn't get off because they had (may still have) a system where you paid your fare when you get off rather than when you get on, and he didn't have enough money to get off. The longer he rode, the higher his fare went, so there was no escape.
"Oh he never returned, no he never returned,
And his fate is still unlearned.
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
He's the man, who never returned."
