They Dont Know
They have no idea how much fun I just had. How much that just meant to me.
It's 9pm, and I just got home from a mini-adventure. It was short, and cold, and breezy ... and I had a blast.
I had "the weekend from hell" which I'll summarize later. For this adventure, I was doing a car swap. I followed some friends, Maureen and Kelli, over to someone's house where I left the Taurus for Maureen to drive. Then they were driving me back home in a pickup truck. Kelli, Maureen's daughter, asked if she could ride in the back of the truck. Maureen said no - it was too cold. I asked if I could ride in the back of the truck. What could she say, no? I'm 35 and not her daughter. *grin* She tried to talk me out of it, but I LOVE to ride in the back of pickup trucks ... and havent done it in over a decade.
Since I was doing it, she gave in to Kelli too (Kelli is almost 16 ... and if I havent said this yet, she's one of the coolest kids I've ever met). So Maureen drove us back to my house ... about 10 miles ... in the back of the truck at 8:30 at night in 47 degree weather.
I LOVED IT !!! The stars were so bright, and the air so crisp, and we looked for UFO's, and went about 50 MPH on some of the roads ... so yeah, it was a little chilly. *grin* We were both wearing hooded sweatshirts, so that was enough warmth. We were being silly and waving at people and just laughing and talking ... and it was a nice release after such a long, bad, sick weekend (I even got my drivers license taken away, but that's another story. Silly State Troopers.d:( )
So it meant A LOT to me. My spirit is much lifted.

Those moments of complete freedom are harder to come by the more years pass. I'm glad you got that ride in the back of the pickup. :)
Oh dear, sorry to hear about your drivers licence.
Sounds like the truck was fun though..if you like when you come visit this part of the world, you can go in the back of my truck :-)
