The Green Study Hits the Road, Jack

In preparation for a very long road trip to see family, I’ve packed the following necessary items:

• One front seat driver who believes there is no need to ask for directions, but constantly insists that I’m going the wrong way.
• One mini-me who will immediately alert me from the backseat whenever the speedometer number is bigger than the posted signs.
• A lot of dysfunctional baggage,  so that anything my family of origin says will immediately irritate me, no matter how innocuous.
• One large bottle of Tums to counter bad road food.
• One large bottle of ibuprofen to counter everything else.

I’ll be leaving behind:

• Two obnoxious felines who will now wake the house/pet sitters every morning at 2am.
• Hopes and dreams of a beautiful garden, which will become feral and overgrown in my absence.
• All the accumulated winter malaise and stagnation.

Until my return, enjoy some older posts that were my favorites to write, if not for readers to read:
