I’m driving my life away.

Happy Friday! I have had quite the week. And really last week was quite the week too. But it’s all good. This weekend I had double DAR-duty but I had to cancel our chapter meeting because the meeting location goofed up the dates and then our speaker got the flu! I still have to lead our President’s Day event in Lafayette Park on Monday. Once that is complete it will be serious Wine Time.
While I was driving back from Illinois two weeks ago, I got a hilarious idea for a blog post. My mother wrote about listening to the Springfield country station—but the trick is to listen to real out state country stations. You’ll hear the most random old songs—and somehow know all the words.
I had no idea that I could identify Eddie Rabbit. And somehow, I knew this song. Don’t ask me how.
I surprised myself even more when I didn’t swerve off the highway lol-in over this song. And I was able to properly identify the artist. I mean, who else could it be but the Oak Ridge Boys.
So, yes, out state country radio stations really are the best. But in Illinois they come and go too quickly!
Also, here’s some Mr. Smith for you. I got a new chair last weekend and he’s a fan.
