A little over two weeks after moving out of New York, I got a call for audio work -- in New York -- just a few days in advance. It brought to mind that quote from The Godfather Part III: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." Given more notice, I would have opted for the Amtrak route. But given the last-minute nature of the job, I traveled by bus to keep travel expenses low enough to justify the multi-state trek. It had been a while since I traveled by highway for a trip. Looking out the window and seeing drivers in the next lane, texting while going 65 mph+ was a frequent occurence.
Distance makes the eyes open wider
