This That and the Other
I miss Amanda and Lily… although, I have had a relaxing day since they left yesterday afternoon; I watched movies, took a small nap, read some Bukowski, surfed the net, ate cheese curls and Strawberry Fig Newtons, etc, etc, etc.
I also started thinking as I tend to do during these times. You know, the average person male lives to be somewhere around 75 years old. That sounds like a pretty long time, but then I started thinking how that computed to only 75 summers, and that I’m closing in on halfway there. I’ve used up nearly half of my Falls - half of my Springs, my summers, my winters. Then I started thinking that I need to take more vacations. So I started surfing expedia.com and other vacation sites. Then I realized that we need to save more money. Then I started thinking about paying for private school for Lily, and for college, and retirement. Why does my brain have to work this way? *stabs brain…
Anyway, some places I’d like to go and see before I die:
- Alaska / British Columbia
- The Caribbean
- The Mediterranean
- Mexico
- Boston / New England
- Thailand
- Arkansas (ah-hahahaha - yeah, right)
- Egypt
- Ireland
Of course, I can’t really complain too much: I’ve skied the Alps, hiked the Andes, traveled much of Europe… Now I just need to do it with my family….
