Someday Finally Showed Up and it looked exactly like a corner booth at Mr. D's 66 Diner in Kingman, Arizona. Both had the burger and the root beer float. Both had the pie. They had been married forty-nine years and eleven months and they were somewhere in the middle of the greatest road trip of their lives.

No phones on the table. No awkward silences to fill. Just two people who had long since run out of things to prove and were simply enjoying where they were. Route 66 had been on their list since before they were married. They had talked about it the way couples talk about the things they're going to do when the time is right. And then one morning the time was right and they got in the car. Route 66's centennial year as the backdrop. Hawaii at the end. Two things they had always meant to do together. Not one for him and one for her. Both for both of them.

This week's Roadside Notes is for anyone who has been treating the life they want like something they'll get to eventually. Someday doesn't wait. You have to go get it. The road is a hundred years old this year and it's still out there. Still the same two lanes it always was. Go get your someday. It's closer than you think.
