Memorial Day weekend was wonderful. Once my initial drive down to Croton-on-the-Hudson was behind me (pouring rain), the weather was perfect. 

I did put a lot of mileage on, including an unplanned trip to Manhattan. A brief, sub-12-hour City fixthat ended in one of the most pleasant mornings I can remember, walking around the Flatiron district (it used to be considered part of Chelsea, now its its own neighborhood). Glorious! Looking good, NYC!

Then it was a drive up to New Paltz, the NY City hippie country getaway from my late teens and early 20s. A gorgeous drive up the Hudson, then into the Mohonk Mountain Range, a party with plenty of rarely-seen long-time friends, lots of catching up.

The capper was a drive home that took me through some fond old haunts in the Catskills, past Yasgur's farm, White Lake, Monticello, Liberty (scenic route taken, no hurry). So many memories from my 20s - when I spent quite a bit of time in what I then considered upstate NY (3-4 hours South of what I now consider upstate).

I rarely enjoy driving, it tends to get so tedious, but this was one of those road trips that never got boring. Memories were triggered every step of the way, all pleasant, suffused with the glow of negative-free memory editing. Whatever bad memories formed in my late teens to mid-20s - were all beyond recall.

It was such a magical, evocative weekend. I'm still feeling it.
