Life, Post-Traverse

Here we are, one day later. I didn’t think I would be back here, but I am. You know how some things you don’t really even notice until you don’t have them anymore? That’s what I experienced today. I didn’t really notice how smoothly the Traverse drove until I got back in my van today. I also didn’t notice how sensitive the brakes were until I stopped at a stop sign today and almost rolled right through it because I’d grown accustomed to the Traverse stopping so quickly. Yeah, little things like that.

But, to keep things fair, my van wanted me to tell you he got his feelings hurt when I kept announcing to the world he had 198,000 miles on it. In truth, he only has 197,700 miles on it. He was so put out by my exaggeration he went and grew mold all over the back floor boards. Mold. As in, green and fuzzy and stinky and oh-my-word-what-am-I-going-to-do-now MOLD.

If anyone knows what one should do to get rid of mold growth in the back of a van I would be most grateful. And if anyone tells me the solution is to buy a 2010 Chevy Traverse I just might burst into tears.

Oh yes, the Chevy Traverse. Back to that. We just found out they extended the date for you to go test drive one in exchange for a free one-hour massage. You now have until November 29. That means you can go over Thanksgiving break and take your whole family with you. That should make for a really fun story. You should do it.

Now then, I have some mold to deal with.

Hope you’re enjoying this fantastic Saturday in St. Louis!
