Summer Nights.....and I don't mean the song in Grease.

Yes, I know it's not Summer yet but this Spring night had such a Summer night feel to it.

Have you ever had a smell, or a sight, or even a situation that triggers something from your past?  It happens to me occassionally.  It is amazing what our brains recall just from those little things.

Anyway, last night, around 8:30, I was driving to the next town to go shopping.  I had the windows rolled down, sun roof open, Francesca Batastelli blasting and I was singing along.  The atmosphere just took me back to my college days both at SCC and Murray State. Those carefree nights. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade my life right now to go back to then but it is nice to reminisce!

My drive last night took me back to those nights, after musicals or performances at SCC or after work at Murray, when my friends and I would just drive around with the windows down and the music blasting.  Not a care in the world just enjoying the moment.  Destination was generally Steak and Shake with the SCC crew and at Murray it was just aimless driving ending who knows where.  I miss that sometimes.  I love memorable moments I am reminded of like that and that make me smile.
