So here's the scenario. I live quite a distance from Fielder Church, where I worship every Sunday. For a reasonable, prudent (pokey-tail) driver, the trip should take about 20 minutes, I would guess. I, however, do not usually (ever) have that much time to spend. So, what I do is go into "Suga' Mama" mode. Now I don't really know who "Suga' Mama" is, but I was given this name by Madeline and Susannah when they rode with me in their car-seat years. I do suspect it has something to do with the speed I drive.
So...back to Sunday morning. My "pettest" pet peeve of all is anyone who gets ahead of me on two-lane Shorewood driving the speed limit or less when I'm on my way to church. This morning I was forced to pass this old codger in a pickup truck, and would you believe he honked at me? If I hadn't needed both hands on the wheel, I would have picked up my Bible and waved it at him to let him know it was for a good purpose!
What adds insult to injury (cause I usually can't or don't pass!) is that when pokey-tail turns onto four-lane Perkins Road, it's like he's been shot out of a cannon! BOOM! I can finally pass, but...he's off like a rocket!
Now, don't send me any cards or letters suggesting that I might consider leaving home a little earlier. I'm planning to do that next Sunday. Oh, no! I just heard this morning that next Sunday is time change Sunday--the bad way. What do you think the chances are that I'll be needing to wave my Bible again?
