“The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routines.” ― Mike Murdock

I am now back in NY. We left at 2am Saturday morning and got home before 8pm.
The driving was not too bad. We stopped every 4 hours to switch drivers, gas up, eat and walk around.

There were two instances that reminded me that I really don’t like driving:

1- Road Rage. There were two people break checking each other, and then they stopped at a traffic light and one of them got out of his car.  I am glad the other driver didn’t engage.  The light turned green and he got back to his car and off they went.   

2- Accident: A little car thought it could sneak in ahead of a truck as the lanes merged  on the George Washington bridge.  I was driving next to the truck and behind the small car.  No one got hurt, but the small car had to be towed. Remind me not to ever take the upper level again. There are no trucks allowed in the lower level.

Back in the NY home, it has been hard to get back into a routine. I was in Florida for only 6 weeks, but it was enough to make me feel a little lost now.  I specially miss my bike.

Even my baking has suffered.  I tried making the pound cake again, but it was a failure.  A tasty failure, but still a failure.  My mistake was trying to add a few drops of vanilla extract after the machine had started mixing it. 

Lesson learned.  Do not open the machine at the wrong times. I will be making pound cake again… after I return from Colorado 🙂

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” ― Thomas A. Edison
