Colorado or Bust...

I just drove this bad boy from California to Colorado in 20 hours flat (yes, that was going the speed limit). It's a 2002 35th Anniversary Limited Edition Camaro SS, which was the last year they made the Camaro. My friend's dad had bought it as an investment and it sat in his garage with just 500 miles on it until he died last week.

My friend decided to keep the car (at least through the summer) and asked if I could help him put some miles on the odometer and get it to CO, which I gladly did. Ironic though, I'm sure my friend would gladly lose the car to have his dad back a little longer. It's not that he particularly got along with his dad, it's just the dealing with the missing of that piece of his heart. A piece not even an anniversary edition sports car can ever fill.

what is the frequency, kenneth? i can bat u2 interpretations around with you for days. it's just a fun exercise.
i am not sure what the rest of my thought was in the u2 post but i can tell you it occurred to me bono's lyric was exactly as you suggested. in fact, it would make sense given the context of the previous two records, which were chock full of biblical references an imagery, (even moreso than the earlier albums.) about u23d, i blogged about it when i saw it,(whenever it was,) but unfortunately i did not see it at an imax as you did. it was amazing even where i saw it so i can imagine...
i read several of your blog entries here and enjoyed it a great deal. i like your brief but substantive style and the fact that you are travelling the globe and doing so many interesting things, well, it makes for good reading. and by the way, happy birthday man!!
