The Chuck Wagon
All around, we had a great trip to San Diego yesterday... but after those final two hours rocking home on the 5, I have learned a bit of alchemy. Here is a list of five things. Any four of them together are a mistake. All five, combined in equal measure, create concentrated Bad Business.
1) Sangria.
2) A truckload of tapas.
3) A Jodorowski movie, played on a laptop.
4) 85 mph for 2 hours.
5) The back seat of a minivan.
I am leaving Marientina, our humble pilot, out of this equation, because Lao Tzu himself could have been our pilot, keeping the brake and gas in perfect natural harmony, grass could have been sprouting from the wheels of that damn minivan like it was Okami, and I don't think it would have kept the nausea away. Yes... these five ingredients are a perfect storm.
