The fact that I've visited some morbid themes recently has not escaped me.
Maybe it's the whole almost-a-half-century-thing. Whatever.
Off to San Francisco for a few days tomorrow, and seeing my dearest Gem. She lives near Seattle, and we get together yearly. If we're lucky.
This year marks 30 years we've been best friends. We met on a gondola at
Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe. Which is, coincidentally, involved in a
massive wildfire right this minute. (Tahoe, not Squaw Valley.)
Gem and I were young ski lift operators together, back in the proverbial
"day". We've shared countless wild adventures.
We're (much) older now, and (somewhat) wiser. The adventures continue, despite those changes. Thank goodness.
The change will do me good. Like many, I am so fed up and angry about this fucking government that it borders on complete irrationality. The latest Cheney bombshell only made me crazier. Angst overload.
Break time!

Hmm. I think the one on the far left did it.
i just turned 50, so i know what you mean, it is kind of like a re-birth so you can try to correct the mistakes you made
May you find comfort in a true friendship!

I just turned 50 as well, and am frankly relieved to have it finally be over, as it were! The anticipation was a killer.
Yeah, Cheney news on top of everything else is a bit much to take. Who will take those muthas down?
Hope you have fun playing in the city with Gem!
Enjoy the reprieve :-)
I re-opened my blog.
Enjoy!
Older - means you can act younger.
Wiser - You can play dumb.

ALoha!
