In the Race

Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...

Maybe You Should Keep A Short List

Remember that book/travel guide,  100 things You Should Do Before You Die?”  Well, perhaps the title should have been: 

100 50 Things You Should Do Before You Die

Why?

Because the author, Dave Freeman, died this month at the age of 47, and he only got halfway through his list.








"This life is a short journey," the book says. "How can you make sure you fill it with the most fun and that you visit all the coolest places on earth before you pack those bags for the very last time?"
  that, according to Freeman, before he checked his baggage and lost his claim ticket...if you will.

Actually, he fell and hit his head while in his home in a freak accident.  You may wonder why I'm being flippant about it.  It's just that maybe it was meant to be, and he sure lived a more fulfilled life than most people.

It just goes to show you, if there's something you really want to do, and you are able to do it..go for it.  You never know what crazy thing may happen to you when you least expect it.
