So, today, I leave to drive to see my buddy Brit in Iowa.
Sadly, the only thing that keeps popping into my head is "Our State Fair is a GREAT State Fair...." (You know, from the movie State Fair? This movie? With Dana Andrews? Hey--don't make fun of me. This is actually a really good movie.
No really! And you can buy a copy and see for yourself. Or, just go talk to someone over the age of 60. They'll set you straight about how under used Dana Andrews was....watch The Best Years of Our Lives. If you get through that and don't tear up? You have no soul. Nope. Nada. None.
But State Fair? There are worse ways to spend a crummy weekend afternoon, for sure.
I actually started out with a song from South Pacific, but it talks about Kansas--which is so not Iowa--so I had to switch gears. (But I do love SP! So much, in fact, I'm making sure I take my CD with me for my drive. I do love Mitzi Gaynor....)
So, I'm soon to be on the road..wish me luck!!
Maybe this time, I will get my traveling tales posted in a more timely manner!
