Ode to cruising

...here I am on the road again…
"Turn the Page" by Bob Seger

It's a crispy cold Thursday March morning in Chicago. You're on your way to work as usual for a weekday, but it's no ordinary day for you. You're dressed lightly and in your left hand you're desperately clutching, as if it's going to help stay warm, a suitcase handle. You're going to California after work! It's almost impossible to imagine warmth, although only several months ago it was summer here in Chicago. Your day goes by in a moment, you're in O'Hare, airplane, sleeping, landing… You're in Sunny California!
