It's 10 o'clock
Aug. 20th, 2009 09:57 pmIn five or six hours the Hartung family of four will hit the road for a 15-hour drive to Greenfield, MA. There is a funeral to attend, old stomping grounds to revisit, and dear friends to see.
Jeff and I attended boarding school in Massachusetts. He at Northfield Mount Hermon, where he graduated in 1987, and I at Deerfield, where I graduated in 1995. The schools are a 20 minute drive from each other. We went to the same movie theatres, sipped frappes at the same Friendly's, ate pizza at the same pizza joint, with only a span of years between us. Who would have believed that in 2003, we'd find each other and marry.
It will be a long and exhausting journey, and we'll test our full emotional range, but it will be good.
Time to finish packing the car, and then to bed for a few hours.
