After getting a call from a travel magazine in Indianapolis a few weeks ago, I thought I would just take my camera (my good one) and hit the open road. They are publishing one of my pics from the European Christmas markets we visited last year. It's really amazing the comments, responses and funny things that happen to you when you blog about random things. I didn't make it very far. Life got in the way, and I found myself back in my house with not many photography subjects.
When I have quiet moments in my day, or when I am driving down the road, I tend to let my mind wander. Today I got to thinking about some regrets I have. Nothing big and serious, in fact, several funny things crossed my thoughts. I wish I had continued playing the piano. That's probably on a lot of people's lists. I wish I hadn't been so afraid when I was younger. Afraid of failure, afraid of grouchy adults, afraid of the unknown... I remember being fearful about things that don't even cross my mind now. I always regret not having my camera with me. When I do grab one of them, the battery is dead. My phone is not the best camera. But it sounds like approximately September 19th, that could all change. Let's see what Apple says on September 9th. :)
And I am craving Mexican food. Really delicious, authentic Mexican food. Specific things that are not available here. I keep begging Chief to take me to New Mexico and feed me. That's all. Here's what I want.
That's right. Here's where you get it. And I think I am available next week.
I just don't want to miss anything. For nearly 10 years now, I have been in this "life is short" mode -- and I think we need to go and do everything before it is too late. Right now, we are healthy enough to travel easily. We can sit in airplane seats for long periods of time. We can drive anywhere. We can walk long distances. We like to golf, but we rarely make time for it. We don't have to worry about getting too far away from our doctors. We have energy. I don't limp, and I don't have any back problems. We should roll. Soon.
Other than the fact that next week is "Shark Week" on the Discovery Channel, there's not much to look forward to on television.
I did pass on both Sharknado and Sharknado 2, but I have to admit, I am a little curious.
