I watch as the boy starts grabbing clothes for a two day trip to Arizona…
Me: Finishing up your packing?
The Boy: Yes. For my loooooooooooooooong two day trip to the desert…
Me: Yeah what IS it with you and the desert lately?
The Boy: Well the stark landscape fits in well with my existentialist view as of late. You see, you have Sarte over here and you have Camus over there and Mojave is in the middle.
Me: So you’re carpooling then?
The boy: (pauses while he tries to get that brain cell back) Um, YES! And you have no idea just how boring they are as carpool companions, although I will say their argument over shotgun was entertaining.
