Saturday night drive

One of my favorite things is a drive around Lake of the Isles on a Saturday night. It’s magical to listen to a transcendental Replacements or Ryan Adams soundtrack on the car stereo as you glide around the frozen lake when it’s 5 degrees on a quiet winter night. Colder than a Virginia girl could imagine was possible.
