Today, since I missed Monday--some musings about traveling
1. Traveling is at the same time fun, boring, exhausting, and hard. It all depends on where you are in the trip.
2. Being there is a lot better than getting there.
3. If the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, how long will it take me to get to the last step?
4. Some say it's not the destination, it is the journey. Yeah, just think about it, racing to the airport--to wait. Charging down the jet ramp to get to your seat--to wait. Getting to your destination and taking the bus to the car rental counter--to wait. Heading off in the rental car to the hotel and getting stuck in rush hour traffic--to wait. Maybe it's not a journey at all but an exercise in waiting.
5. Traveling alone is the pits. Turns out, I don't like eating out alone.
6. I miss my _____________ (fill in the blank with any of the following)
a. wife
b. dog
c. morning cup of coffee
d. newspaper
e. evening wine and cheese with the wife on the back deck
f. O's game because the sling box isn't set up right on my computer
g. speed-zone pace of life
h. 0530 racquetball game
7. I'm in Denver and the mountains are pretty--but they are a long way away.
8. Why do they always have conferences when the major league baseball teams are out of town?
9. Are the Avalanche playing tonight? Turns out they are! Maybe I'll do a hockey pre-season game. Yes--it is Hockey season almost! Who needs the NFL!!!!! With their uber-expensive tickets and poor fan support and TV time-outs?
