I am back in D.C. and have to drive to Maryland tomorrow for work. It will be pretty much 2 hours of driving up 295/95 followed by a boring meeting for 4 hours and then another probably 2 1/2 hours (depending on traffic) down 95/295.
I was pretty grumpy about this until I remembered I purchased a book on tape over Christmas. I don't have very many books on tape/CD because honestly I can get to work staying in 2nd gear and in less time than it takes to get through Stairway to Heaven. But I saw Heart of Darkness and figured I'd buy it for an occasion such as this.
I read Conrad during undergrad and it was very poignant. Something about "we live as we dream, alone" just sort of sticks with you, eh. So it will be me alone in a Jeep tomorrow.
The horror.
