ah! you know, you are right. I HAVE played in a band. Duh.

and I too have driven farther than I should in one day. Quite recently in fact, for work.....

[suzannemarie.livejournal.com]

I look at some of those drives I've taken now and how sleepy I was at some stages. There's no doubt that on at least a couple of occasions I was extremely foolish in my decision to keep going. I have a bad habit of doing that at the beginning and end of trips. In the beginning, because I just want to get where I'm going. In the end, because I just want to get home.

It is an interesting exercise. And a little trip down memory lane.

Italics are things I've done. Too bad most of the good ones were when I was a kid, or at least very young. Italics are things I want to do... Didn't mark the things I wasn't sure about or are so unlikely as to be irrelevant ; )
