Escapade

It’s spring and I can’t help but think about Janet Jackson smiling and singing “Come on baby, let's get away … Let's save our troubles for another day … Come go with me, we've got it made Let me take you on an escapade … Let's go!

Oh, how I love a good escapade. Just getting in the car or hopping on my Harley and just driving or riding to wherever. No plan. No predetermined destination. Just putting the pressures of life on hold and being free, if only for an hour or two. While we are feeling the grip of Covid-19 loosening and witnessing hopeful glimpses of our new normal peeking through I can’t help but think about the escapades that have been waiting patiently for our embrace.

What escapades await you? Will you board a flight, take that long-overdue vacation and escape to parts unknown? Will you visit a relative, attend a play, have dinner with friends, go to a wedding, birthday party, or cookout? While we didn’t think we could get through a year of isolation and limited contact guess what – we did it and we learned a lot about ourselves along the way. Now it’s time to take what we learned and plan our big adventure.

So, as the days grow longer and temperatures climb higher let’s heed the words of Ms. Jackson and remember escapade, we'll have a good time, escapade, leave your worries behind, escapade, well you could be mine. Escapade.
What are you waiting for?
