Today's Quote--"Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me..."

Today's quote--"'Hope' is the thing with feathers/That perches in the soul--/And sings the tune without words/And never stops--at all."--Emily Dickinson
Well, I had to put one from my favorite poet up at some point...;-)
Yeah, I remember playing poker with Junior Mints on one of our many road trips. I remember the stops at St. Regis, just across the Montana border, the one stop in our 5 hour drive. Yeah, I remember getting up real early in the morning to go to a meeting that started at 1. I remember the way the street lights were flashing as the sun came up, we hit the road. Yeah, I remember the bumbs, the brambles, the trees, the hills. I remember the names of the rest stops, John Hill, Sagebrush. Yeah, I remember that time, speeding down the highway, praying the next rest stop wasn't too far ahead. I remember the streetlights flickering by as we drove from tiny hamlet to tiny hamlet. Yeah, I remember those curves in the passes, the snow, the plows, the prayers that the road wouldn't be closed before we got home. I remember the fog, the rain, the snow, the sleet, the sun, the wind. Yeah, I remember that conversation, it made me see my own potential. I remember the caravans, the laughter, the jokes, the speed. Yeah, I remember all that. Where did it go?
