So I said I would blog the Route 9 from Ware to Worcester Thanksgiving odessy... one word can sum it up I guess... "eh".. it was ok.. nothing special.. nothing really spectacular.. nothing really noteworthy... although I did enjoy the quick trip down memory lane as we drove through Spencer, where yours truly was raised.. we even took a quick detour off Route 9 to drive past the old family homestead... it was rather disappointing.. they are doing alot of work to the place.. an addition.. new siding... closed in the sun porch (BIG mistake in my opinion.. we spent many a warm summer nite out there sitting on the glider and watching the world go by.. wonderful memories!) but the place was a mess... crap everywhere.. garage door wide open.. broken down vehicles.. toys.. Dad would have killed all us kids if we had left that kind of mess around there.. so it was kind of sad in a way.. to see something that Dad took such loving care of, resembling a junk yard.. *sigh... you really can't go home again, and I guess you shouldn't drive by it either..
The rest of the trip was reasonably cool... the DQ.. many wasted youthful hours spent in that parking lot! The High School.. the bowling alley.. fond memories.. and as we drove through Leicester - the Annual T'Day rivalry football game between Prouty and Leicester.. more memories.. indeed, a great start to a great thanksgiving day.. but for a daily commute.. 9 2 Bay 2 9 2 10 has it beat by many miles!
Later...
