I'm a nerd

At lunchtime today, I got in my truck and headed into town. All the radio stations play crap during lunch, so I tuned in to NPR. For some reason, the station wasn’t coming in very well, and I was trying to hear Earth and Sky, so I cranked up the volume. When that was over, the classical music started. My brain tuned out the music as I pulled up to a stop light. When I looked over at the car next to me, I noticed a carload of “cool kids” in their late teens, laughing and pointing at me. That’s when I realized that I was cranking some overly pompous baroque music with too many trumpets at an obnoxious volume. My 1st instinct was to switch the station, but instead, I rolled my window down the rest of the way, cranked the volume up some more, and laughed on down the road like a cheesy nerd.
