Willie's Song

Until this morning, what I was planning was just a vague blur on the horizon. But this morning I didn't need to get up, go somewhere, see someone, take the cat to the vet, talk with a utility company, load  clothes into the RV...I slept in...late...7:00! To much change isn't good for me. 

The world did not twist on it's axis, it only seemed that way. For the past several weeks my time has gone either extremely fast or excruciatingly slow. But, I finally got Humpty Dumpty together and we hit the roar yesterday. The ride here helped settle everything into place. It's a shame that "the place" happened to be on the floor. There was no band when I arrived mid afternoon, but people were waving at me...something they didn't want me to hit, I think. After backing into my slot on the lake, making all the connections and getting some directions, I drove to a Roadhouse and had some really good steak tips. They call them something else, but the main thing was they tasted great. And, I did not have to cook! Ran the antenna up , turned on the tv and watched something while my "eyes rested" and went to bed. 


Another error on my part took me to the Twins ballparks instead of the Sox. Fortuitous mistake, the Twins were down the street playing the Red Sox so getting to the park was impossible anyway. I'll try the Sox tomorrow as the will down the road at the Twins park. I will be seeing at least 6 games over the next month, as I purchased two more today. Perhaps there will be something more at Fenway South as well. On the way back I stopped at a Publix to get a few things and instantly remembered that affluent community stores are better stocked, manned and inventoried. I'll be doing my shopping after the games!


There were a few reasons that I chose this as a primary destination. One, Spring Training. Not sure it was on my bucket list, but it isn't now. Ft. Myers is about half way to Miami. I have friends to visit and places there that I want to see. Finally it will allow me to get back to Clearwater to finalize unfinished business before final departure.


Now, I have to find where I packed everything. I KNOW where everything was...trouble is, we aren't anywhere near WAS! I did find the power cords so at least all the communication stuff can get a charge. 


Eighty something posts were waiting for me on Facebook, thanks Ken! Caught up there, catching up here, photos to follow, what's next? Ah, email. 


Why am I doing this? The trek, the blog, etc., because it's a positive approach to the rest of my life. I can meet new people, visit new places, return to favorites and review them online so that I can express new delight in life to all that will hear. While this is happening I will get to renew/rehash my brotherly sibling obligations...yes, I am going to bug them! Why else would you have them? It will be fun to watch my nieces and nephew getting to see how "alike" and "loving" we are! I am glad that spell-check can handle facetious, so I only have to guess at it!


If ho-hum, hum-drum or boring were all that any of us had to look forward to, what would the point be? So, lead forth, MacDuff!
