"Once Bitten Twice Shy....Babe"

That song brings back memories of driving around Kirksville, MO in undergrad as I did vocals and Croat did air everything - guitar, drums, piano. Dude, we were both in such a damn hurry to get through college and get on with life, but those were some of the best times. We both agree that we didn't realize how worry-free we had it back then...and the glorious naps. Oh man.

But, those days are gone. Now we're adults, and she even recently had her first child. I am so pumped to get up there and see the whole family together with the new addition. YEAH! For those that don't know, the Croat is my BFF from undergrad. Her actual name is Yvonna, but since she is Croatian, I ended up giving her the nickname "Croat." It stuck, and as far as I know, it doesn't offend anyone. But yeah, man, I am super excited to get on up there to Chicago.

With that, I have already "checked in" online, printed my boarding pass, and paid for my bag. Suck it, Delta. Hmm. I always wonder if Joe's dad is gonna be my pilot when I fly Delta. Wouldn't that be bitchin' - air-taxied around by my FIL. Guess it really wouldn't change anything, except I'd be more relaxed at the reduced chances of the pilot killing us. (Knock on wood) Annnd, I'm out.

PS. C25K Week 4: Complete. Today was Day 3, and I made it my bitch. Felt damn good. Joe runs with me now, but maybe one day I'll run with Joe. (She looks bright-eyed into the distance...fades to dark...as Chariots of Fire plays...yeah.)
