Traveling Through Time (Zones)--Day 4

I'm not sure why, but I honestly thought Indianapolis was in the Central time zone. You can imagine how surprised I was when I saw my phone suddenly change to an hour ahead when I thought I would beat the rush hour traffic to my hotel in Indianapolis today.

I chalk it up to car lag, of course...or the fact that some of the idiocy of Yoko still lingers in the air!

Speaking of whom, I alluded to something that I did as part of my revenge for her making life miserable the past year and a half in my post a few days back...perhaps this is an opportunity to elaborate...

If you'll recall, one of the five completely idiotic comments she made one night was that "eggs don't spoil"...well, after being out with friends on Friday night, I decided to test her theory with a little early Easter egg hunt!

I decided to take about a half dozen eggs and scatter them in various places around the kitchen and living room, hiding them well. Since I don't buy her theory and she likes to keep the condo really hot, she should start noticing the smell soon! :D

And my last vision of Yoko will always be this:

I was loading up the SUV at around 6:30am Sunday morning and, at one point when hauling things out, noticed that she was up and about. She asked me what I was doing. When I informed her that I was leaving, she was shocked! (Odd that she knew when I was leaving yet this still surprised her.)

She mumbled something and, as my hearing isn't the greatest, I asked her to repeat it. She looked grim and set about making her coffee. Later, she said that she knows I hate her and again, this time I didn't hear it...on purpose. Before I left, though, she wept and gave me a big hug and the smell of alcohol almost knocked me to the floor. Again, how can anyone be like that? I guess she was up all night drinking alone in her room. Now if she was called out on this, she would always tell Mark "I'm sorry. I screwed up." But she never learns...

So as you can pretty much surmise, nothing much happened today. No rain, no animal regurgitation, no major events.

I chalk this up to the fact that I've re-entered civilization...lol. Maybe the cold has something to do with it. The heat of the Southwest probably makes people crazy and the chilly weather somehow subdues that.

No...today I just enjoyed a shorter drive than the past two days, listened to some music and did some thinking. It's amazing how much runs through your mind when you have plenty of time to spend with yourself. Most likely, I'll touch upon that later as I'm still pondering things. However, one lyric that really seemed to sum everything up was this...

"This is a new beginning
I'm back in the land of the living"
--Twist Of Fate, Olivia Newton John

Now it's a 5 hour trip to Cleveland where I'll spend the next few days with friends before returning to Pittsburgh sometime on Monday. In some respects, it will be like traveling back in time to a zone where things were, in retrospect, a lot better. With one caveat in terms of expecting anything will be the same as they were before...

"Don't bet your future
On one roll of the dice
Better remember
Lightning never strikes twice"
--Back In Time, Huey Lewis & The News

Indeed!
