Loved your reminiscing Rob, but I have to laugh at the ending. That's so me. And most of Vintage, I imagine. We get to the place we wanted to go to and can't remember why we went there. I walk around repeating words so I will do the first thing I meant to do, and the second thing I thought of on the way to the first thing, and then the third thing I thought of on the way to the first thing.

Like dogs, papers, water. As in I started out to let out the dogs and feed them, and when I let them out I realized I needed to get both newspapers out in the driveway, but on the way to the papers, I looked over and saw the dog water bowls and wanted to give them clean water.

Great write up Rob. I think it's time you and Adam take the car for a nice long ride, enjoying each other and the car.

You put a smile on my face this morning, Rob. Thanks.

These days I'm working in downtown Cleveland, where I would never, ever park the S. No matter how good the weather, she stays put in the garage. A pat on the fender & a longing look is all she gets most days.

Life's been busy for you, hasn't it, Rob? In a good way, from the sound of things, but the S does get neglected in these times. Doesn't matter though. She'll be there when you need her, just like mine.

Thank You! Your writing gives me peace of mind and took me back a few years to when I was so young.

Twice, three times actually. It wasn't there.
