I love my birthday. Obnoxiously so, I fear. I'm especially excited today (which is the day) because Phil and I are about to embark on a road trip. Ask me what makes me happy and I am likely to respond: a map, a camera, coffee, a laptop, a chunk of time, and some sort of conveyance. The map and laptop are optional. A notebook and a nice pen will substitute for one, and a healthy sense of adventure and resourcefulness for the other. Add good company to that mix, and I am beyond happy. We're not going far (Portland), nor for very long (back tomorrow), but that doesn't matter. It's the setting out without much of a plan that makes me happy.
I love road trips! Can I come? I've always wanted to drive the Oregon coast, see places like Astoria. Someday . . .
