The son of the man ...
Road Trip.

So, as I type this from the car thinking I can't standany more of this gospel music and wondering how long till I'll grab the wheel and kill all of us to spare me the agony I can'thelp but wonder how long a trip has been overdue for me.
Yesterday I stayed with friends from Philly. I had fun on the way up turning down some dude with a sob story about how he got laid off and he needed gas money and food while he and his girlfriend was holding a cigarrette. I'm such an SOB!
Now, when we got to PA we were supposed to spend the night and leave the next morning but my in-laws had added yet another cousin to the number and visitations had to be arranged. I was holding the baby when my little niece walked over, kissed the hours old newborn, and sneezed. My mouth acted on itself when I said, "H1N1 welcomes you to the world." The mother was not very pleased!
Later on I visited my friend who's daughter has autism. I'm not sure what kind it is, I would have thought it was cerebral palsy if they hadn't told me kids with autism can be affected to that extent. Needless to say it broke my heart and I couldn't stay in the room too long. They do have a big happy family and are heavily religious. Strength to all of them.
I spent my teen years with my sisters and the two short years I have lived away from them I have realized how different have become from them. I feel like they haven't changed at all. But the drive up has enabled me to understand a lot of her perspective on ... things.
I hope Ottawa is cool.
