Random Act of Gratitude #45: Traveling Mercies

A small crew of us hopped in the car to drive up and see Sonya in Urinetown tonight. Almost two hours each way in a slightly tightly packed car could have been mildly contentious, but it was actually quite enjoyable.

The traffic was clear and easy (and we were amused when Sonya herself passed us on the highway, she to make it for her call time and we to get there in time for a bite to eat).

The younger folk were chatty and amusing and Dennis provided enough groan-worthy jokes and random stories to sustain us all the way. Even as we drove back (somewhere around 2 in the morning), the passengers didn't fall asleep and abandon me to my wee-hours driving tasks.

The inbetween time, also, was very enjoyable, seeing a fun show and getting together afterwards with Sonya, Laurie (with whom I've worked before), and other members of the cast and crew.

It was certainly worth the four hours of driving.
