Spring has finally sprung in St. Louis. I took the tea cozy off Li’ Blue, my Mazda MX-5 (say Miata). The vanity plate on my car reads Li’ Blue because it is, well… little and blue. Also I was dating a Hispanic lady at time I bought the car and she called it my Viagra car for the same reasons and others. Rather than put Viagra on the plate I went with Li’ Blue.
Friday is frequently a half day of work for me and I try to play golf in the afternoon. The traffic is lighter on Fridays. I find it a good time to drive my convertible. I did so this morning, with the top down of course. It was a little cool so I wore a light jacket and turned the heater on my feet. Traffic was flowing nicely and I never had to shift gears until I left the Interstate.
KDHX is a local non-commercial radio station with all volunteers as DJs. The radio stations play list has to be termed eclectic, but each DJ usually has a theme, Blue Grass, Soul, R&B, Brazilian, etc. The show on Friday early morning drive time is Sound Salvation. His whole play list is eclectic. This morning it was gospel, jazz vocals, Lucinda Williams, indie rock and more. It is almost always enjoyable. This morning it was especially so.
It was one of those drives that if you could put it in a time warp and continue it would more than alright. It made me so happy. I walked into the office with a big smile on my face.
