Travel! Who doesn't love to travel? Well, come to think of it, my oldest sister hated to travel. She only got on a plane twice in her life. She loved to stay at home. & actually my mother hates to travel - especially since 9/11 - she imagines that every plane that goes up with explode in the sky. All right, let me ask this again: Who doesn't love to travel who isn't a female member of my family? Damn it, it's a rhetorical question!
I love to travel, & I don't get to travel as much as I want, since we have eight animals in the house. The wife travels a lot for her work, & to visit her family, & I usually don't get to go, since I have to watch the eight animals in the house. My cats don't like to travel, actually - the trip from Lexington to Fort Worth was pretty unpleasant for them. The dogs, however, love to travel - I wish I could drive everywhere & take them with us.
None of this has anything to do with this week's show except that the show was about travel. A celebration! A consternation! In addition to the songs I played (which are below), I talked to a beleaguered travel agent, to a libertarian who made it his life's work to take down travel agents, & to my spiritual mentor, who blew my mind with a philosophical perspective on travel. Also, I took a phone call from a couple of traveling musicians down in New Orleans. It was as hastily assembled, over-packed, & hectic as your average long journey!
The show is now at the Self Help Radio website. Have a listen: it's like taking a trip, without all that traveling & having great times & enjoying yourself!
