A surprise baby shower, and an enjoyable drive home | Sad, lonely ...

Last Saturday we held a surprise baby shower for my friend?s Shyam and Rithula, who are expecting their first child towards the end of July. It was held at a clubhouse in Cary, and was a pretty good event! I would estimate around 40 people showed up, with families and it was a good day too ? weather wise. A little hot initially, but it cooled down after the sun went down. Once the party was over, and we?d cleaned up the place, it was time to go home ? around 10:30pm or so. This was the part that I had looked forward to, because as much as I love to drive, driving with the windows down on a warm summer night is even better .

So the windows came down, the sunroof was opened, and I picked some Bryan Adams on my iPod and started the drive home. Something about the air rushing through your hair, caressing your face as you drive into the night. It?s an ethereal experience, to say the least. I was reminded of when I first moved to the US. Not knowing that many people, I used to wake up at odd hours, and if unable to get back to sleep, would get into the car, pick a direction and drive. Traffic is light, and the weather is conducive to opening all your windows and turning off your air conditioning.
The only drawback is that you hair looks like it?s been styled by Stevie Wonder, but I can live with that. I?m not out to win any beauty competitions anyway ? I?m out to enjoy myself.

You should try it ? driving with the windows down with some nice music playing ? can?t be beat! Actually, the only thing that could come close would be to have some friends or family in the car singing along with you as you drive into the night. I?ve been fortunate enough to have had that happen a couple of times before, and they were a lot of fun!

So here?s a song from Bryan Adams that I was listening to ? Fearless:

The video is a fan based video of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, concerning Buffy, Angel and Spike.

Peace!!
