I used all of my vacation days. As I grow older I focus more on experiences
rather than material things.
This is not to say that I am not continuing to pull the plow
to pay for those experiences and material things. Sometimes the harness of that plow is painful
and it has left some scars. I do like my
shiny toys but at this point I am pretty satisfied with the fleet and my home.
I took two trips to Florida.
I do like those crashing waves, sunshine, and beach walks. Key West was fun.
I skied in the mountains of Colorado.
I rode my motorcycle across the plains and into the
mountains. I rode on some of the best
roads the world has to offer. I
did it!
My youngest son got married.
It was a beautiful wedding. His
bride is wonderful.
I cruised the Spanish coast on a beautiful ship. I stood on top of the rock of Gibraltar. Visited Rome and the Vatican City. Saw the statue of David.
I ate some good food, heard some good music, and had some good drink.
Damn, that is a pretty long list.
Some of the things that did not go so well.
I have had some
health issues.
My love life was not entirely satisfying. I broke up with my girlfriend right before
the holidays.
My mother had a car wreck and a fall. She has pretty well recovered but these
events serve as reminder that she is only one bad incident from a very
significant lifestyle change.
