The Long Drive
The convertible roof is down on my two seater turquoise Thunderbird. Steve “TheBeachBum” my web designer is with me. We hustle down the highway picking up speed to make up for me going the long way to exit North Miami. It is a pleasant drive. Rain avoids us for almost all of the way. Steve operates a time lapse camera fixed to the front window. Great scenery appears as soon as we reach the Florida Keys. The T-Bird engine light comes on signaling a problem. I am cautious, add a quart of engine oil and continue on, thankfully without problem.
In Florida City Steve enjoys a nostalgic plate of freshly fried fish. I sip coffee always being alert to insure I am now within the speed limit. A plastic cup embossed with a Grandpa label serves as a secret beverage container. In no time really we are in Key West. I rush to the hotel where we will have our evening welcome. Aileen is there to set up the video I have made of My Dream Walk. Let the fun begin.
