I don't know what it is about the open road that makes it so appealing. Maybe it's because when you're headed somewhere, you don't have to be where you've already been. |
I don't think I ever cracked up as much in my life as I did during my stepfather's funeral service and burial. All we could do to prevent crying was to laugh throughout it. Laughter is very powerful. It's something that can't be underestimated. |
I enjoy getting the e-mails saying what's up. But the most important thing is that they send a few bucks. |

When someone offers to have a party in our honor, we say 'Yes'. |
