" the first song I pick is, inexplicably, by Yellowcard. It prompts one of the guys to tell me that they love “classic rock”, which makes me die inside." I laughed out loud.

It turns out that Ocean Avenue was not, in fact, released "a few years ago" :(

Don't want to get hit for libel, but maybe I'll just say that I wonder if some places have a reputation for not checking IDs too closely and leave it at that...

This line made me laugh out loud: . I feel like the robot wolf cub in Spy in the Wild being accepted by the pack.

Love it!

I've been antsy to read about your road tripping adventures in the USA. This was excellent and made me laugh and feel old right along with you. But you know what? I prefer to listen to my sage inner "old" wisdom too. Can't wait for Part 2!

Gosh, thanks Karla! Yes, this one has been a long time coming – it's nearly Summer! – as I've had other projects on, but it's good to be back. More wise sage (and not so much) stories coming soon...ish.

When you saw the Uber price and went to bed, I felt that. No freaking way. I’m really trying to think of what would make that 40 bones worth it but if it’s not a night dancing with Beyoncé as she pays off my student debt then... nope.
