All the things you really need for a good road trip- I pod, book on CD, I pod transmitter, Manhattan Special espresso soda. Gets you through any tough patch. I remember drinking this stuff at Grandma's house when I was a kid. Odd to think that I like coffee so much after having this when I was 8 years old, but this was before everything was bad for you and parents coordinated "playdates" for their kids. When I was young I was allowed to go out and play, ride my bike all over the green earth, and generally disappear for hours on end-and I always came home. Imagine that now, in our society of fear?
