And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound

I always figured that, at some point, I'd reach a place in life where I'd be living in a place somewhere in or near the mountains: Montana, northern Idaho, maybe even somewhere in Oregon. I like the seasons and I especially like a good winter with snow ( Read more... )

I like that blog. Is that yours? Nice look and feel.
Re: 'the point', I avoid some fat - in bulk at least; I read lots of books, good and less-than-good; I try and get along with just about everybody but am less successful than I'd like to be, but I still try to be nice while letting them be. I do a bit of walking.
But 'the Point' still eludes me.
So, I'll keep walking, keep reading, keep wondering and try to 'avoid foods that angry up the blood', and, hopefully, when it's over, I'll be able to think I did more than exist; made some kind of difference and didn't merely take up space.

It is, thanks.

As Eric Idle sings, even if we are just taking up space we're not taking up much, cosmically speaking. But maybe the point IS something else. "42?"

"42" - heh heh. I haven't heard that in a long time, from someone besides me, I mean. Maybe I should revisit the works of Goober Pyle, the Philosopher.

We went to Holly Springs once when I was a kid. I just remember that it had a lot of fine old antebellum homes, including one that once belonged to ancestor named Wynne. I have a real deep down hankering to go back. But if I move, it will probably be to Arkansas or Texas. Texas still remembers the Alamo. TerryB

I think the Ozarks are one of the best kept secrets in the country. Some nice mountains and great springs and lakes. Did some fishing over there when I was a kid. I could hang out in the Ozarks.

We lived in the Ozarks when I was a kid, and I've been all over them. Then we moved to the flood plain, then to Little Rock. It's a great state. Glad the Clintons left, though. TerryB
