After I spoke at the Xenos Summer Institute in Columbus, Precious stayed for four days and explored some of the quaint small towns in central Ohio (and celebrated our anniversary at Buca Di Beppo's). We tried to rent an economy car, but were given a 2008 fire-engine red Ford Mustang instead.
At first I thought we had hit the jackpot--the fulfillment of my mid-life dreams, but after being cursed at, obscenely gestured, cut off in traffic, tail-gated, challenged to drag, and then lying awake at night afraid that someone would vandalize the car, I decided I am glad we do not own one. I was relieved to turn the car back in. Other than that...we had a great time!
