Boiled Peanuts don't belong on a road trip!

Ace Essay here reporting semi live from Baton Rouge La... I had a hankering for crawdads,  gumbo and sweet tea. You’re probably wondering why I would travel all the way here just to eat. Well I didn’t. I’m on assignment and as usual I sacrifice for you my adoring public.
My task is to begin another series of articles on Midlife folks partaking in adventure vacations. Why because as you know we reach midlife and go nuts. The highlight of most folks is to come home from work plop down in the old leather chair and ottoman grab the remote and vegetate (What? Oh! Sure ok.) You-know-who has informed me that I’m describing the typical male. If that is true (which I doubt) how would I have known as I am not a typical male! Ah! Lynn agrees with me, about time.
Let’s talk and you need to excuse me as I am in the middle of sucking on these crawdads and I sometimes get distracted. By the way have you ever eaten boiled peanuts? They look and feel like slimy grubs and they do instill a reflex action once they enter your mouth. I suggest that you all try some, talk about an adventure.
Ok your old life has passed you by. What do you have left to lose (except weight, hair, teeth and fashion sense)? Now is the time to do something exciting…it’s called living.
An adventure vacation is as simple as filling the car with gas pack a small ice chest with food lock the house and just drive away. Where would you go? That my friends can be part of the adventure, just keep driving until you find a place you like, spend the night, walk around, see some sights and drive home.
Remember you’re an adult (at least biologically) who do you have to answer too? Grab an inexpensive flight join me for lunch, these boiled peanuts aren’t bad once you get passed the gagging.
This is Ace Essay signing out for now (going into the back country looking for some gators) at least that is what my guides with the banjos say.
