The Open Road

Molly and I love the open road but I don't think anyone is ever going to confuse us with Easy Rider or anything. Several years ago the rock band Eve 6 wrote a song called "The Open Road Song." The song opens with the line that I thought was perfect for me and Molly as we hit the open road this afternoon- "Tonight I feel ambitious and so does my foot as it sinks on the pedal." I decided to take a different route to mine and Molly's temporary lodging tonight and not go through town but hit the highway instead of going through town. It took me about five or six miles out of my way but it was much easier on Molly and that made it well worth it. All of the starting and stopping through town is very tough on Molly and there is not as much of that on the highway. Molly enjoyed putting her face in the crack of the window and putting her head to the window.
