Earworm of the Day: Last Stop: This Town

It's getting dark a little too early…

Jeepers, we're stuck in such a happy mode, here, ain't we?

As I may have already mentioned, there's been some traveling going on, already, and Thanksgiving hasn't even rolled around, yet. There will, no doubt, be more highway time, and possibly even some rail time.

When I was a kid, our first jaunt of this season would be the very instant school let out on Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day. Pop would pick us up in the family van, and we'd hightail it upstate, to the farm where Mom grew up. It would also be just about the moment we got out onto the highway that the snow/sleet/snizzle would begin, so we'd be singing "Over the River and Through the Woods" (although, having only three members of our family of six who could carry a tune, it was nowhere as big a production number as this) until I'm pretty sure Pop was about one matchstick tip away from becoming an incendiary device. 

Or, maybe he was just trying to figure out how to abandon us kids at the next Bus Stop so he could have a peaceful drive with just Mom and the dog.

Either way, my family members have a lot of experience at being on the road, especially near holidays of all sorts. I am, therefore, now working on avoiding it as much as possible. But not working very well at it, it seems.

Catch you on the rebound, good buddy. Keep the bugs off yer glasses and the bears off yer… tails.
