Alone with groceries

A man drives a thousand miles and lands in Mesquite a desert town northeast of Vegas and tucked along a mountain corridor with Utah. He gets a room at a motel and prepares to look for an old friend. Woodrow by name whereabouts unknown. But a deep inertia takes over and the best he can do is watch cable news and log entries in a journal called Alone with groceries which is what he is just sitting waiting and using the toilet. It's strange to be old and aimless and lost without the company of a friend. Life is good when it's all in the past and soon forgotten.
