I'll show you spontaneous
First I had made plans for staying around Chicago this weekend. A festival here, friends there... it was shaping up to be a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Then I was thrown a change of plan to go out of town this weekend with friends. Suddenly a kink arrived and we were not going out of town anymore. Then the wrinkle ironed itself out a bit and I was still planning on going out of town this weekend. And now after 48 hours of back and forth... not at all.
I'm all for random spontaneity, but this is madness. If you want to be truly impulsive I'm in... but planning, un-planning, planning again, etc drives me nuts. For future reference, I don't "pencil things in," i use ink. That said, the next time someone says to me "Let's go to France", I'll grab my passport and backpack at a moment's notice (although now that I've written it down it wouldn't be spontaneous anymore would it?).
Since I haven't offered up any music lately and because I am no longer going on a road trip this weekend (or am I?) I'm throwin' a song up here from some of my favorite Dutch roadtrippin' friends*...
Speeding Down The Highway - Arling & Cameron
* The expression "friends" is used rather liberally since I have never actually met, much less conversed with Misters Arling or Cameron. I have never been on a roadtrip with them either. I have, however, seen them play live so that counts for something. Right?

so do you want to have a spontaneous short distance road trip on sun afternoon to say hi to the theo?

It's a definite possibility. I don't know that I'll be up for much tomorrow night though, it's been a LONG week and I will probably need to come home and crash.
