A very late mix of some great road trip songs! I’ll probably be burning through most of my iTunes library on this trip, but there are some rules I have for what makes a great road trip song:

1. Singable. It’s so much more fun if you can’t the resist the urge to belt the song out the car windows!2. Recognizable. It’s no fun if you’re the only person in the car who recognizes 90% of what’s playing. 3. Upbeat. This is somewhat debatable, but generally I like my roadtrip songs upbeat. I don’t want to fall asleep behind the wheel.

What are your road trip rules and some of your favorite road trip songs?

Cakes have gotten a bad rap. People equate virtue with turning down dessert. There is always one person at the table who holds up her hand when I serve the cake. No, really, I couldn’t she says, and then gives her flat stomach a conspiratorial little pat. Everyone who is pressing a fork into that first tender layer looks at the person who declined the plate, and they all think, That person is better than I am. That person has discipline. But that isn’t a person with discipline; that is a person who has completely lost touch with joy. A slice of cake never made anybody fat. You don’t eat the whole cake. You don’t eat a cake every day of your life. You take the cake when it is offered because the cake is delicious. You have a slice of cake and what it reminds you of is someplace that’s safe, uncomplicated, without stress. A cake is a party, a birthday, a wedding. A cake is what’s served on the happiest days of your life. This is a story of how my life was saved by cake, so, of course, if sides are to be taken, I will always take the side of cake.

It’s my Uncle’s 80th birthday! A bunch of the family got together for dinner, and this is the cake my cousin got. I can’t stop laughing.

Happy Birthday Uncle, Brother!
