I've been longing for a long ride.
Time to air out, get away, clean out the mental junk drawer, do some long division in my head to figure out my gas mileage while I ride to nowhere in particular.
Take some lazy curves at 55.
Really doesn't have to be that long a ride. Hour and a half. A long break. Mosey back a different way. Smell the air. Feel the temperature changes at dusk. Warm on the hilltops where the sun is still hitting the road. Cool in the shadows in the low areas.
A little time to stop all the words. Worries.
Chill out. See a deer just standing there on the side of the road, looking at me.
And then to be glad to pull into the driveway.
Home sweet home.
