I'll be on here rarely for the next couple of weeks. (Let the rejoicing begin.) I'm taking a vacation and doing a 3000 mile road trip. I'll be back though... Just giving fair warning.
sounds like an adventure. hopefully you will bring Tales home.
Tales of tail, perhaps?
@hankster
Ah! But such a tale could @Duke relate
A tale of tail, and not stale-mate.
A piece so fine I tell thee,
Yea! A mounting to the finest "lay"
Of loving labour, toiling "hard"
That ever "came" upon that bard,
Recounting with "upstanding pride",
That wondrous night .... etc.
The above is adapted from a long, bawdy ballad I once wrote upon a portable typewriter by the light of a burning oil refinery, after rebels had blown up the power station and were now attacking the oil refinery. I was also consuming the contents of a small barrel of French wine, to prevent it falling into the hands of the enemy.
Where are you going?
Enjoy the drive (ride?) and come back in one piece.
Have fun! I did a cross-country trip last year. Wish I could again!
