North Central Expressway

Friday night I had plans to join my friend, Andrea, to hear her friend's band play at the Lakewood Bar and Grill in Dallas.  I had unloaded, vacuumed, and washed the car until it was finally dark blue with tan interior once again. 

I headed south from my cousin's house and glided down the freeway.  It was sundown.  The tangerine sky silhouetted the skyline as it hurried passed me.  I love driving in Dallas.  It is such a provocative city with a million different offerings as varied as trailer-truck pulls, to world-class art exhibitions, to some of the best food in the country. 

It was good to see Andrea.  She is so kind and low-maintenance.  We can pick up where we left off without feeling bad that we were living our lives in the meantime.  It didn't take long to remember how good it felt to be with my friend.  Through college I had a couple of friends who I could always turn to while I was sorting out my life, my first couple of relationships, and probably my wardrobe.  Andrea was one of them, and I'm glad she's still in my life.

Tonight...something uber-exciting....will post more later...
