CB and I left for San Antonio at 5:00 a.m. We were shooting for 4:30 but someone didn't get her ass in gear in a timely fashion. I won't name names, but you can probably figure it out.We drove to Oklahoma City where we had breakfast at a Cracker Barrel. They were selling this nonsense.
A saleswoman said "They are only $20! What a great price!" I replied, "I'm from Kansas so I don't care if you are giving them away."
She was a little taken aback. But, I said it with love. Bless her heart.
We arrived in SAT around 6:30. No problems on the road, but there was some drama at the continuing legal education seminar. I can't report on it yet because it's still a work in progress. When I do tell you about it, plan to stay awhile, as it is quite a story. And I'm not even in it.
Arriving at the Barnes' house is like going home. It is so comfortable and welcoming. I love knowing that they are waiting for us at the end of a long day of traveling.
I was worried that CB would get sleepy while he was driving, so I took it upon myself to talk to him to keep him awake. He assured me that listening to the radio would do the trick, but, really, it was the least I could do.
I talked. And talked. Then sang awhile.
Then read the signs along the road.
And the sides of semis.
Then talked some more.
And I talked back to the radio.
Sometimes I even waited for CB to talk back. Most of the time I didn't.
It was a fun trip all around.
CB seemed particularly glad to arrive in SAT.
And even gladder that Roger greeted him with not one, but TWO, beers.
