my last first night rehersal

Aug 03, 2005 12:01

so im eating dinner at 5:55 pm and i'm thinking that practice is 7-9. well i look at the calendar, yell, run and change, then put on my shoes while driving out of my neighborhood. then, at felony speeds, i race down brown, not wanting to be late for the first night rehersal. well long story short i get there with 30 secs to spare and was thouroughly relieved.

afterwards we went to QT and saw scenes of devastation in the storm - awnings falling on people, transformers blowing, the works. all the traffic lights are out so we huddle in cars at the QT parking lot, being pelted by massive raindrops, hoping for a sign of life from the now dark quiktrip. well the lighsts start popping on all over (but not the traffic lights) so we run triumphantly into QT and watch in amazement as the drink machines begin spinning again. so the traffic lights eventually come on so we leave and as i was going home i witnessed my truck's odometer go from 99,999 to 100,000 miles - a moment of joy.
