Update from Senior Prom!


Hello all.
     My Senior Prom was Friday night, and it was an experience to never forget. I asked one of my best friends, Amanda Main, and we were set on having a great night. Dad even let me drive the 1937 Ford Street Rod to the dance, which was at the Crown Plaza Ravinia off Ashford-Dunwoody. It started good enough, with me being a tad late for pictures at a friend's house over in Duluth. After pictures, I surprised her by pulling the Rod around, and we set off for the dance. After driving through 30 minutes of traffic, we saw our exit sign, and got into the far right lane. That's where things got weird. The Rod started making burping noises, as my date put it, and we freaked out. Then a green fluid started to spurt out out of the radiator just as the entire front side of the car was engulfed in white smoke. So we pulled over, on I-285 in Friday afternoon Rush Hour traffic, and apart from the waves and honks we received from onlookers creeping by on the Interstate, we had practically half of Providence's population smirking at us as they arrived on time for the Senior Walk. Luckily, Amanda's older brother was on the way to the Dance, so he picked us up and brought us, a few minutes late, to the  Senior Walk. The Dance was great, and I'm sad to have no more Providence dances to look forward to ever again!

Surprisingly, you know how Joe was supposed to be the first one to drive the Rod to the dance, well then when he graduated, and Liz wanted to drive it to Sadie Hawkins? Then it got sent back to Wyo-Tech, and Liz never got it for a dance...well I actually tried driving it to Homecoming earlier this year, but it broke down on the way to my date's house. Haha so this year it breaks yet again, and maybe Emma will be the lucky Crist to drive the "great" car to a dance and impress her friends.
