HEY Y'ALL.....
Mama's bored. So, papa must jump.
We have been married for 35 years, and we are as different as ham and eggs. Not that ham and eggs don't go together pretty well...in fact we may have that for breakfast today...
But, here's the thing.
I'm a guy in his mid 50's, relaxed, finally, and am happy with the sun, swimming, book reading, bike riding, dog walking, Jesus lovin' life I'm living down here.
Deb is a woman in her early 50's who seems to not be able to sit in one place for more than 30 minutes without wanting, oh, I don't know, something else!!
So, tomorrow we will drive four hours to go to Daytona Beach and see the ocean. And in a couple of weeks, we'll drive four hours to see the space shuttle pop into the sky from Cape Used To Be Called Kennedy Now It's Canaveral Again I Don't Know Why Don't Ask....
We'll pay 76 bucks for the 60 second thrill, plus 50 more for the gas...
And, we coulda seen it better on tv!!!
Okay, you say...I have no sense of adventure, you say...and
YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There it is...I'm a sun potatoe, happy to fry...A dud spud, not a greater potater..
So there.

Well I say good for her!!! You only have one life, you know, and it's constantly ebbing away like the sands of an hourglass. Use some of it to experience interesting things, to grow and learn and become. Sitting in the sun is nice, but try not to become covered in moss like that guy in the freaky twilight zone episode...
I like moss...I think it would be a good look for me...
I'm thinking of finding an old age home somewhere in the south..with a pool and kareokie (sp?)...and putting him there. He would be so happy.....Mom
