Driving home from Anne Arundel Community College, I made the last few turns before I parked my old Opel Kadette on the street. Paying as much attention to driving as anyone does when they are in their own neighborhood, I was on auto-pilot. I drove along, with my window down, not because it was hot, but just to enjoy the feeling of the air as I drove. My mind was busily planning my evening; what to eat, what shows were on TV, and would I have time to go over to my friend’s house to listen to the new Rolling Stones album he had bought at The Music House last night.
