this morning #1931.

this morning, the four of us decided to meet up at a rest stop off of route 13. i arrived first. about a half hour early. hadn’t planned it that way but it worked out in my favor. gave me time to have a few smokes. pace away some of my nervous energy. while i’ve been in steady contact with one of the guys, i haven’t seen the other two in over a decade. have my doubts about how this weeklong getaway might play out. excited but tentative. skeptical but hopeful. from what i can tell, one of the dudes has adopted some crazy political opinions. the other one seems ok but he was always a wild card. he got there next. caught me by surprise. sped into the lot & drove right at me. scared my ass and, just like that, the week had begun.
