> The Rocky Road Less Travelled

My wife and I have been planning a trip to New Hampshire and amongst the attractions listed in the AAA book is Robert Frost’s farm or some such. I have a major urge to call them up and ask for directions, and afterward, to ask for alternate ones because I wanted to use the road less travelled.

And I’d follow that up by asking where the nearest motel is so I wouldn’t have miles to go before I sleep.

I’m too nice to do that to them. They probably have to put up with those jokes a thousand times a day.

It was my first post here. Looks like a fun place.

There’s also The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrockcandy, but it’s too long to fit on the carton. 😉
