Been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd of said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I been in the right trip
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a bad place
And I'm wondering what it's good for

I been the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
My head was in a place
But I'm having such a good time
I been running trying to get hung up in my mind
Got to give myself a little talking to this time

Just need a little brain salad surgery
Got to cure this insecurity
I been in the wrong place
But it must have been the right time
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong song
I been in the right vein
But it seems like the wrong arm
I been in the right world
But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

Slipping, dodging ,sneaking
Creeping hiding out down the street
See me life shaking with every who I meet
Refried confusion is making itself clear
Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here

I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
I'd have said the right thing
But I must have used the wrong line
I'd a took the right road
But I must have took a wrong turn
Would have made the right move
But I made it at the wrong time
I been on the right road
But I must have used the wrong car
My head was in a good place
And I wonder what it's bad for

...close but no cigar!!!

We hope everything is okay with you. You will be missed. Does Pat know the way?

Default Who Needs Maps?

This morning a nice crowd even though Sparky said he wouldn't be there. Pat had a hand full of papers that he kept calling "maps" but I've never seen a map that wasn't a picture! To use what Pat gave us we all had to know how to actually read, but that wouldn't be a problem since most of us are smart enough to be driving Corvettes. Actually reading the directions made navigation very easy. Most of us made it to the correct restaurant for lunch. I thought it was a great run and look forward to the next one. Note to Sparky: next time put Rachel's car in the garage and let the Corvette sit out all night.

Dan, glad you had a good time. I should have said directions...not a map!

I missed everyone and I'll be back next month for another exciting adventure from The Block/Outlets of/at Orange!!!

Pat did an excellent job although kind of boring as we never did get lost!
Nice to see everyone and some newbees as well.
