Bossy will just get straight to the point today, where today equals sister mercy it’s nighttime back home, but here in California Bossy has finally stopped driving long enough to post something — and who liked Bossy better when she was writing on East Coast time? Bossy put your hand down.

The above photo represents Dateland Arizona, an exit off Interstate 8, which is lucky because Bossy has become quite the Interstate 8 expert. The stretch of Interstate 8 between Phoenix and San Diego is very:

And sometimes it’s:

But Interstate 8 doesn’t strike Bossy as a date destination. Of course what does Bossy know? Bossy and (Harrison) Ford’s idea of romance is cavorting with the other cars delayed along the highway for forty-five minutes while emergency road crews tend to falling rocks:

And Bossy and (Harrison) Ford do other romantic things too, like their daily breakfast picnics!

Bossy and Mr. Ford also enjoy passing through the occasional border patrol checkpoints:

Bossy can sum up her romantic encounters with (Harrison) Ford in this way: He goes out of his way to make Bossy comfortable.

Which is what todays Ten-Word Tuesday is all about. In exactly ten words, can you describe what you would do on your ideal date?

And be sure to check back later today, or tomorrow Eastern time, or yesterday Pacific time, to read the best date ideas on the web.

  2. Hey, posting on California times gives those of us in California the opportunity to be the first comment. I’ve always wanted to be one of those dorks that says “My comment is first!!”

  5. Medjool dates, a source for potassium and sugar cravings police.

    (Bossy, I have done that drive soooo many times, being a Calizonan who first lived in Sedona for a really long time and now lives in Los Angeles and I am here to tell you, that is the most boring drive on the planet earth. Also, it looks like you’re down in Palm Springs somewhere and you can definitely get yourself a date milkshake down there.)

  25. a well-rested day, plenty of time to get ready, angelic kids handed over to the babysitter, nice clothes that fit me, good wine, good food, no rush home etc etc.
    Reality; throw frazzled kids at babysitter, good dress doesn’t zip, work keeps ringing about some other bull***, husband is ready in two seconds, we can’t decide where we’re going……aaaaarrrrggghhhh

  32. Best date: With my wife, doing anything (well, almost) get home early. (yes, we are getting old)

    The drive from LA to Vegas is much more boring. Though Bossy will probably never find out (yes, still grumbling about the No Book Tour staying in California)
