Escaping with the Escape
\u00a0
Long empty highway. Easy to test the limits. 90mph
\u00a0
Reached the snow line.
\u00a0
Driving in snow, stay in the wheel paths. No ice. Miles and miles\u2026
\u00a0
Final turn into the driveway. Clipped the deep bank. Stuck in snow. Tomorrow\u2019s problem.
\u00a0
Hanging out \u2014 someone else\u2019s family. Everything normal.
\u00a0
Middle of night, while all is dark, much like a weighted blanket, George laid his heavy doggie head in my lap; nostalgia floods and especially nice in the present. But only lasted a moment.
\u00a0
Unstuck from snow, tow rope.
\u00a0
Driving home. Finding my pace car. Deciding when to chase the lead car.
\u00a0
Wanting to scream the radio, but there is only static or unwanted. I need more volume of rock and drums.
\u00a0
Need to select another pace car and follow them home. There are no pace cars in the real life.
\u00a0
Happiness is fleeting. It doesn\u2019t last. Is it about surviving until the next time it happens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like, roundabouts are fun. That was five seconds of enjoyment.

Enterprise clerk asked, \u201cIs there anything else I can do for you?\u201d
I replied, \u201cCan I keep the Escape?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
