Have to Get Away

4-20-2006 - 9:56 a.m.

Somthing's wrong. Whenever I see my vacation pictures, I start to get all weepy. The one that's the worst is the one we took on Route 66 near Peach Springs, Arizona. It's a photo of a long stretch of empty asphalt, going on and on for miles, mountains in the distance and scrub grass along the sides.

When I see that photo I want to be there again. Out in that big nothingness. Driving down that road again, not knowing where I am headed. And not caring. The morning sun warming up my hair, a cool breeze tickling my feet.

Before - After
