New York State of Mind
I spent nearly 14 hours in a car alone yesterday driving from Grand Rapids, MI to Westport, CT. It had been 3 years since I made that trek and I always forget how long Pennsylvania is. LOL I was very antsy and annoyed for the first 5 hours or so, and then I settled into it and the rest if it was fine. The only drama happened when I forgot that all gas is Full Service in New Jersey and I am not used to driving very often so I didn't realize how badly I needed gas until it was too late. I stopped in some tiny town and BOTH gas stations were closed. I was on empty, with the gas light on and had no choice but to get back on the freeway and find the next station. Finally found a 24 hour one and filled up JUST in time. I was in a panic for a minute but it passed.

Today I'll be hanging out with friends in Westport and going out for dinner at Outback Steakhouse which I LOVE! Tomorrow there's an Interlochen Gathering in New Jersey that I'll be attending and of course Monday I'll be heading into the city for the show. I'll spend Tuesday and Wednesday in the city before heading home on Thursday. Quick trip! I can't wait to spend some time in Manhattan again. It has been WAY too long.
