On Saturday, I drove down to Birmingham to visit my girlfriend for a late lunch after chauffeuring H to skating lessons. I ran away from home, no kids. It was magnificent. Autumnal colors filled the trees and the gentle hills just filled my soul to overflowing (I've leaf peeped in VT and this was just as spectacular). I blared U2 and my heart did a happy dance. I decided my funeral should be filled with Autumnal colors and the blasting of U2. The epitome of me.
