glad i'm not the only o one! remember the song "I'd really like to see you tonight" by England Dan and John Ford Coley? I thought the lyrics were:
i'm not talking about meridian,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight
well it's not merdian, it's MOVING IN
boy did I hear that one wrong
thanks for sharing your story about your truck driving friend, and Glen's diner!
