Friday, October 21
Today we’re facing down danger in Florida–
not alligators
nor sharks
nor fireants
nor mosquitoes
nor Nile crocodiles
nor Burmese pythons.
Today we’re going to get our kicks
not on Route 66
but on what many deem to be
the most deadly
or at least second deadly
stretch of highway in the country,
Interstate 95
heading to the deadliest place
on that stretch–Jacksonville.
(Who knew?)
But we’re willing to face down
any enemy and do battle
against all odds
for the thrill of seeing family
gather all in one place
for the first time in more
than six months.
