driving moment

i have recently been thinking about how driving is one of the things i least like doing.

not the act in and of itself

but because of the person i become behind the wheel

cursing out the window

laying on the horn when i find someones behavior particularly egregious

huffing and puffing to myself at the idiots driving ms daisy in the left lane (even though sometimes i find myself sitting in the left lane without realizing...)

i have engaged in more fights with people while driving then i am willing to admit.

but the other day i had such a delightful moment with another driver that i thought it was worth sharing

driving home from work with little m in the back, i was listening to a radio station with the beatles playing and i cranked up the volume and rolled down the window to let the warm breeze carry us home.

as i sang my little heart out along to "i saw her standing there" i looked out my passenger-side window to find another driver blasting the same song, window down and singing along. our eyes met for a brief moment and we exchanged a fleeting smile as traffic moved on.
