Romantic! Love it.
I was told I was getting a little too dark and twisty.
Nice. Not too sure anyone would make me forget wailing babies that quickly, but I remember a long bus ride (yes … bus) that – after the fact – was way worth all the aggravation.
Long bus rides in the movies are always pictured as quirky and nostalgic. Somehow I doubt that’s true.
Nowadays they have movies, back then they didn’t. And the bus ride itself was not as bad as the 10-hour layover in OKC waiting for the bus south. If my family had answered their damned phone they could have driven there, picked me up, and had me home in less than 5 …
