Sweet Caroline-ing

In July of 2010 Marina and I drove Nicole down to Wildwood from Philly (in Truman with his cute Hello Kitty decal!!) and I captured her singing along to Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline. 

Truth be told, the only thing I remember from this drive was that I went from Jersey to Philly to get Nicole to then drive her nearly two hours (and don't forget that means two hours back) so that she could spend time with friends at the shore. She hopped out of the car with a goodbye and that was it. No hugs or thank you so much, just totally entitled. I wish I could say that I never went out of my way for her again, but sadly, I can be a bit of a doormat sometimes. I should have known that zero gratitude equals a huge red flag.
