If you can believe, mankind is banding together (excluding Egypt which is not so happy) to vote on a NEW 7 wonders of the world. Part of the reasoning for starting the new vote is that only 1 of the original ancient wonders, the pyramids in Giza, is still around. The old list was:
There are roughly 52 Saturdays in a year. Subtract a big portion of them due to bad weather, work, family commitments, maintenance chores on the house or car, and whatever else seems to sneak in and steal our free time. Anyone will agree that the weekends that are left to do things we enjoy, like get outdoors, are precious and few. That seems to be when we do the most “living”. Now with the math done, imagine having 4 years worth of Saturdays compressed into a single year. That is what I was blessed with in 2006. I believe that it is our experiences that make us who we are, and I can feel the difference after having experienced so much in such a relatively short time period, compared to previous years in my life. It is chaotic, yet welcome…….and I want more!
Well updates are coming slowly these days…as are my breaths. I broke down and actually paid a doctor yesterday to tell me that I have the flu with bronchitis and damn near pneumonia. I hesitantly mentioned that I had been traveling, but it only sparked a few questions from her. Fortunately no guys in chemical suits from the CDC rushed in and stuck me in a plastic bubble or anything (yet).
So, I sit in quarantine, struggling with a slight fever to get my creative juices flowing. Hardly the start to 2007 I was hoping for, but who knows…maybe amidst my boredom I’ll stumble across a cheap ticket somewhere or something.
