Rest Stop

The highway thru bus to love, and as the curtain is drawn, so is the story. It’s a hot day in the midst of summer when two musicians are about too find each other, and the analysis of chemistry 101. The story takes place in downtown Pittsburgh at the Pittsburgh Transportation Center on Greyhound for a journey to New York City. You see, Judy Smith, an accomplished pianist is about too journey too Carnegie Hall for a concert, because she hit all the right notes of melody from the University Of Pittsburgh in their amateur night sponsored by the music department under the guidance of Professor Geoffrey Holder. Now Joseph Minichiello, an accomplished violist from the Pittsburgh music arrangement society sponsored by the creator, Mr. John Carey. Back in his day, he was an extraordinary orchestra leader. Joseph was also going too Carnegie Hall.

Before the bus even arrives in New York City, there will be a music harmony of tone and tranquility in a relationship in the making while at a rest stop. In Gate 18, a Greyhound provost with the destination in bold letters, NEW YORK, NY was ready for boarding at 10:00 am for a 7 hours trip time. The Greyhound driver was exchanging tickets at the gate, and the baggage handler was loading the bus. Judy Smith was in front of Joseph Minichiello which he accidentally bumped into Judy Smith which Joseph apologized, and Judy stated no problem.

Oh good, here’s my chance too stretch my legs stated Joseph Minichiello. As all the passengers got off, Joseph Minichiello and Judy Smith seemed too settle for another area of the rest stop where Judy Smith was reading a music of what he was going to play at the concert. Mind you now, none of them knew each other, but that is about too change. She looked over her shoulder, and asked Joseph “What instrument do you play?”, and he answered “The violin”, and she talked she was a pianist heading for Carnegie Hall, and what coincidence from Joseph, so was he. They talked and talked, and almost missed the bus at the rest stop. They boarded the bus and proceeded too New York City. Cruising, cruising, and cruising, ever moving closely too the big apple. It is now 5:00 pm, and the bus has entered rush hour traffic leading too the Lincoln Tunnel. Finally, the bus reached the Lincoln Tunnel heading for the final destination of New York City in the Port Authority Bus Terminal. The bus pulls into Gate 64 which the arrivals are Gates 62 to 66. When everyone is disembarking, Judy Smith asks where Joseph Minichiello is staying, and he said, “He will check into a hotel, but Judy suggests why doesn’t he stay with her at the Carnegie Hall Tower complex as her university supplied everything, and he said
