nklr: a great relaxer
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2000 8:55 am
Good Morning Listers,
I had my final interview with a prospective employer
Friday and had a couple of hours to kill before my
appointment. Well, I was kind of fidgety and was tired
of reviewing technical stuff so I decided to relax and
take a ride on my KLR.
I left Cary about 9:30 am, the sky was clear and the
air was still crisp. As I cruised down old US 1
highway I could tell Fall was on its way as I caught
the scent of firewood burning and noticed the colors
that the trees are beginning to take. After I turned
off the highway and headed towards the little village
of Bonsal, I saw the old Train Museum that I have been
hearing about for years but never had time to find. I
made a mental note to put the museum on the list of
local spots to take my family. Past Bonsal, I came to
Lake Jordan, which is a water source for the
Raleigh/Durham area and is a popular spot for the
local sportsmen. The road winds around the lake and
crosses it a few times where the vista opens to reveal
the Pine forests and the groupings of Maples and
Poplars. I had to slow down once on this section of
the road while a squirrel decided which way it wanted
to skittle. The road I am on intersects Highway 64,
which I reluctantly take as I realize it is time to
head towards home. One hour and 20 minutes later I
roll into my driveway, relaxed and optimistic about
the day.
Well, the final interview went well and it looks like
a job offer is on the way. Now, I can t say it was all
because of my morning ride, but I do think it played a
part in defining my mental attitude that day.
Ride on everyone and I hope you all have a good day
today.
