The Road Trip Piece

Résumé du livre

The three of us are going on a two-week open-ended road trip. We have briefly considered exploring everyday spontaneity but left it unresolved. I don't drive, M doesn't surf, and B has no say. M thrives in forests, B is most at ease indoors, while I prefer the ocean. M likes nature but complains about the ocean breeze and only swims in heated pools; I am a dog person with a pet allergy; B is a cat. My seasoned anatomy requires considerate bedding and an en-suite; extremely few accommodations welcome cats; M packs tents, sleeping bags and a smoothie blender. It's supposed to be a holiday, but M fills the van with recording equipment "just in case". For once, I side with the cat and decide not to record anything. Given my habit of taking 65.73 daily snapshots on average, it will take some effort not to. It's like sculpting a hole in my practice. I will treat it as an artwork.
