The music was just too damn good

I'm Jaded and alone this week. Bitter is on her drive through the Rockies for a trip home before the move east. Friday was her last day at the clothing company everyone loves to hate. She said goodbye to four years and many friends. The next day she said goodbye to the one who slept on our couch after the liquid farewell party.

(Now that she's off work, the promise is that she'll stop chewing her nails.)

The trip today got off to a good start - not quite as early as Bitter hoped, but pretty close. She went armed with several CDs made specially for her for the trip, which should should take 15-20 hours driving time - Vancouver to Banff, Banff to Jasper, Jasper to Edmonton. By Abbotsford one of the lovingly hand-crafted CDs refused to play further and also became stuck in the CD player. Since several songs played fine, I put full blame on the CD player. And because a working CD player is important on a long journey, the vehicle was replaced. Sadly, the CD was lost. The remaining ones will just have to pick up the slack.
