North By North West

Tomorrow, my honey and I are flying  out of town to visit a college friend of mine  (and his sweetie) who have invited us for a long weekend.  It’s been almost forever since we have done anything like this and it should be fun.  No kids, no dogs, no work, no responsibilities for approximately 72 hours.  What a treat!

I was looking for a song to tie to this and when I did a search, I found the Twelve Best Travel Songs of All Time  Of course, leaving on a Jet Plane is on the list, but I refuse to go there.   The #11 song is by  a band from Orangeburg, SC called  I Nine (eye-nine).  I think it was back around 2004 that our middle daughter Elissa, her friend Katie and I  saw them open for Train at the Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC.  The female singer, Carmen Keigans had a remarkable stage presence. Unfortunately, they have since dis-banded.

Alicia and I are not going anyplace exotic like Amsterdam, we are not planning on scoring a gram, just going to relax and have a good time with old friends for a few days.   We may however, run in to a few  Native American Indians, but not of the Navajo Tribe.  It’s the same in any language, Oh. Yea.

See y’all Monday.   Cheers.
