October 8, 2021 - From our archives (April 10, 2020) “I used to dream of long stretches of I-70 across Kansas and into Colorado”

We went for a drive and you kept laughing. I changed into golden toe socks and we started breathing more deeply. We stopped often and sat on top of the car and looked out at the horizon. We pulled into a rest stop and caught the sunrise. We got back in the car and drove fifteen more miles before stopping again for coffee. The sunlight was everywhere. We rolled the windows down. I used to dream about long stretches of I-70 across Kansas and into Colorado. The highway stretches all the way across Ohio, all the way across Indiana. The highway stretches all the way. You had this funny story that you kept telling about the Adirondacks; and it felt like we'd never get there –––– we left from so far west. It was really far west. We left from the west and drove all the way to the east.
