Your blog is just what the Dr. ordered. I have a fear of ice cream trucks ever since I was little and the i.c. man reached out of his truck and slapped me across the face. He thought I was being sassy and all I wanted was a freakin' bomb pop. C used to live in a big-time ghetto outside of Boston. We used to lie in bed at midnight and listen to the repeating track of "Pop Goes the Weasel". An ic truck at midnight?? I'm sure they were pushing more than ice pops. Great to see ya,gal. Have a swell trip and gimme a shout when you get back. In fact, "you're my new best friend.
