Hump Day, Plan B:

Last night GCCR (The Gay Community Center of Richmond) hosted a candidates' forum. Our local political hopefuls came to answer questions posed specifically by the LGBTQ community here in Richmond. What a great opportunity, huh? I thought so. So, I planned my whole day around the event. And, giving myself plenty of time, at around 6:30ish I hopped in the car and headed out of my little box in the burbs and into the big city.

Heck, I didn't need my GPS. Joanne and I were just at GCCR on Saturday for Pride. (Yes, Richmond has Pride in September. I know... I know... but I am told there are good reasons, so whatever. Stay with me.) And we had a great time, but - as it soon became apparent to me - I didn't drive that day.

Okay. How hard could this be?

Let's see. I remember.

Boulevard to Robin Hood.

Robin Hood to Sherwood...

Wait. Where's Sherwood?

Um. This doesn't look right.

Okay. I'll do a U-ee and try again.

Hmm... Wait. How did I get on Broadland?

What, does Robin Hood just become Broadland or something?

Okay, so I'll be a few minutes late. No biggie.

Then I proceeded to do what I think amounted to about three figure eights until I found myself twenty minutes late and COMPLETELY LOST.

Crappola.

That's what I get for only having been to the Gay Community Center once. But, see, that was the whole idea. I was trying to change that.

Hmph.

When I was driving back to the burbs I started thinking about that theme song from Weeds. I wanted to post it, but it's protected, so here is a good claymation version:



Yeah. That's me. (Well, not literally.)

Anywoo... I intend to take my GPS on a dry run pending the next GayRVA town hall meeting which is set for the 7th. I refuse to miss that, too!

BTW, all wasn't lost. I jumped into my jammies and watched Cougar Town with Joanne.

Courtney Cox is so cute :o)
