The best feeling in the world is driving along the highway in a freakishly fast car, listening to Tom Petty belt out one of his jangly happy tunes, and seeing the sign that says "Austin, 23 Miles".
And you reach the top of a hill on Hwy 290...and there it is...the spire of the Capitol of Texas building. You can see it just there, on the horizon, and it is a warm sunny day and you are driving and singing at the top of your lungs with Tom and his Heartbreakers and you see home just ahead.
I got weepy. Weepy with happy. I was wappy. (Heepy?)
Home. You really don't appreciate home until you leave it. But coming back to it is like having your heart put back in your chest.
Austin I will always love you and you will always be my home.
