and that ain’t all ….

Didn’t plan any of it …. just lived my life as best I could.

I am slighty older than 50 … who knows what else might happen. Take a chance …. live a little ….

I’ve come to this point in my life where nothing is new, there are no “challenges” everything and everyone I see or talk to is doing the same thing… Getting a career, getting married, having kids, slogging away at the same thing day in and day out. Some people enjoy that but I need something more, I need to get out and do things. Have you seen that US Navy commercial with the line: “If your life was a book, would anyone want to read it?” I would say even right now hell yes! but, at the same time its only just a novelette and I want a James Clavell sized epic.
