Time Flies?

Where have I been? "Life is what happens when you have made other plans" (John Lennon). I think that I lost myself somewhere in the big quagmire of life, and like the phoenix rising, I am trying to be re-born through my thoughts, words, deeds and desires. How much time do any of us have, really? How about that "bucket list" people?


Those of us who are members of the Baby Boomer Club are acutely aware of how much time is left. I have always had the same "list" since I was a teenager: Ride an elephant, ride a camel, ride in a Bell helicopter (I may re-think this one). I think I would like to add visit Mount Palomar, or the crash site at Roswell (I have been to the museum, but did not have time for the field trip - my bad). I would like to visit the city of Vancouver - I really enjoyed watching the cable TV series "Dante's Inquest" - it made me want to see a place that appears to be quite culturally diverse. But you know TV - it lets us see what it wants us to see. Have to find out for ourselves...


Maybe I should just figure out how to explore my own giant backyard, so to speak, in the time remaining. Florida has so much history, so many things that are wonderous (i.e. The Coral Castle) it could easily take a lifetime to see them all.
