Been to see that doc yet? You better.
One day we were driving up from Baltimore to Hagerstown, got stuck in traffic cause of a wreck outside of Frederick, hours just sitting there while they cleared the mess, finally got going again, and the rain came down, torrents, deluges, and we thought we weren't going to make it. Couldn't see, sliding all over, OMG, but we kept on, and finally got there, but the guy we'd were there to see was gone, so... there was a WaffleHouse by the side of the road, and we decided to get some breakfast (at 4p) why not, and we stopped in at the WaffleHouse in Hagerstown, and it was the most wonderful thing. We were welcomed like old family, and got fussed over, and we all sat around and chatted for 20 minutes while they made us plates of sausages and eggs and pork chops and all that, but I couldn't eat it because I had a toothache that just came up as we were turning around in Hagerstown, so I got to watch everyone else eat, and then we decided to go to Harper's Ferry because we'd never been there, and it was magical in some strange way, especially when we got up on the ridge and could see the confluence of the Potomac and the Shenandoah, a sight no one could ever forget. If John Brown had to make rebellion somewhere, that was the place to do it.
But still had to get that ache taken care of. No, I won't forget that day anytime soon.
