The joy of driving

[I’m writing this on 2/21, but it won’t be posted until I’m back from my trip.]

I’m driving to Nashville tomorrow for a daughter’s wedding, and while I anticipate lots of great things from this trip, what strikes me right now is the joy of packing a bag knowing that TSA drones won’t be searching, scanning, and approving everything I pack.

I can pack nail clippers, a pocket knife, or even a flask, without worrying about the nannies in security. It’s so liberating.
