Day Trip of Yesterday

What a day! We road tripped to Sedona and to Jerome, AZ. Took along my good friend, Stan Daro and we laughed all the way.


The Red Rock area of Arizona is some of the most beautiful in America. The area is home to many vortices which resonate with magnet energy. It is home to many places for spirituality and New Age thinking and experiences. You almost want to climb a mountain, fold your legs (If you can.) and contemplate the universe.

The trip brought to mind the travels that Stan and I in 1983 in a Chevette on my first trip to Arizona. Stan is around six feet seven inches tall, so you can imagine how cramped he was in a Chevy Chevette which was like a shoebox on wheels. No air conditioning, only an AM radio back in those days and we traveled across country to visit the Grand Canyon State.

The trip then as now, was filled with laughter, philosophy and great ideas. We talked about everything from visions to visitors, stopped at Starbucks and overate at a Mexican Restaurant in Sedona. Our trip up the mountain to Jerome was beautiful and Stan had more than his share of "Isn't that beautiful?" comments as we looked down on the Valley below. The switchbacks on the road and the tears from the constant laughter made the trip an adventure.

Once in Jerome, we visited the many shops, including one that had been a bordello. Now it is just curios, no women of the night for our curiousity. The temperature up there at six thousand feet was a cool eighty-five, and when we dropped back into the valley, the heat again topped 106 at 5:30.

We had a great day, and seemed as though we had not been apart for a year. That is the way with friends. You never skip a beat. No matter how far apart, you are always joined.

If you have not contacted someone in a while, do it now.
