Solitude

I love riding in the car. Well, I love riding in the car when I’m not driving. A four, five or six hour drive is a pleasure to plan for. I let my projects pile up and create a to do “car” list of things to begin and finish. I found a great device that plugs me in and keeps my computer eternally charged. There are no internet distractions like facebook, email or visiting one of my many bookmarks. As long as it is overcast my screen stays easily visible and I can listen to an itunes mix and write and work on anything I choose. Tom sings along to the Bruce Springsteen channel on XM radio and occasionally we look at each other content with our place in the car and smile.

You are one of the lucky ones - you have found your place of peae and tranquility. Most people pay psychologists to help them find what you and Tom found by yourselves.
