I'm at a strange point in life. Was lucky enough to decide I'm done working last year. Wife wraps up her work at the end of this week. Both in our late 50s. We are at a place where we can travel and learn about our country and the greater world. Money isn't infinite but enough if we're not idiots. Pretty happy about that. For stuff I wish I did, well most of those doors are long closed. More time with family who has passed. Silly stuff. I wish I'd gone to see U2 in Ireland when I was 20, but was too afraid of the logistics of hitching 120 miles to the airport the next day. Probably would have worked out but I was raised cautious (Dad was an actuary.) Should have seen the Dead when they played Alpine Valley WI. Wish I'd slept with Amy when she was interested, but I was in a relationship (that didn't last much longer anyway). But seriously...I hope I get out of our wonderful house, in our wonderful town and do shit. Most of which isn't hunting, sorry. Baby steps...going on Monday to pick up a motorcycle. Nothing fancy. Just a 400cc. Like I had 35 years ago. We'll see how that goes. This summer we start traveling in an RV. Visiting wife's uncle's place in Colorado after years of saying we're too busy. But enough ramble. I'll check back into this post in 20 years and see if I have anything meaningful to add.
