*for my Disney crew
almost 2 hours into my reading submissions for the Oyez Review yesterday (we're trying to narrow down 1500+ poems to 20-30 by classtime today... not gonna happen.) i came across a poem with a most fabulous title. unfortunately, the poem wasn't that great, it had nothing to do with the title. but the title was fabulous! :) and i thought of all you...
"28 Waffle Houses from Alabama to Indiana"
after my initial excitement and good laugh over this seemingly common experience, i thought, 28?! only 28?! these people clearly weren't counting very well. didn't we lose track around 96? i know we traveled a little farther, but still... "96+ Waffle Houses from Florida to Michigan". sounds much more accurate. and like a good title for a poem, hm.... (insert smiling mickey face here)

ahh ktb...after 6 days in the car, everything's funny! Who am I kidding? After 17 hours in the car, everything's funny. :) What a life - spending 22 hours of our lives counting waffle houses across the country, listening to old school DC Talk, singing along to "it's a small world" at the top of our lungs, coaxing Stanley to keep going, sleeping in a Motel 6 PARKING LOT, laughing so hard we cried... :) Oh how I miss those days, miss andrew, miss daniel, miss mickey, miss you.... :) Love to you today, my poetic dreamer of a roomie. :)
