The Weekend

My family gave me a list of items to bring to Mom's tomorrow. I need the rice cooker, my laptop computer, my guitar, the usual weekend items like toiletries and a change of clothes, my sneakers so we can go for a walk, the bottle of wine I won at the retiree's luncheon and I also need to pick up my brother. I'm hoping that the traffic is light for the trip. I get tired of sharing the highways with tractor trailer trucks. They drive so fast and follow so close behind that they make me nervous and thus cause the ride to be unpleasant. What's the hurry? Do they really get there that much sooner? Slow down, the life you save could be your own.
