I have nothing to say

This is one of those days when I really can't come up with a topic that's new or interesting. (Yeah, I can hear you saying: "Do you ever?")

It's late afternoon, it's lovely outside (about 75F/23C) and the sun is out, and I can think of about 1.2 jillion places I'd rather be than here right now. Even saw some girls outside, sunning themselves, while I was out running errands this morning.

Tonight, I have to cover a dinner. Well, it's a meal. At least David mowed the lawn this week. Don't know if he banged his head, loosing some controversial new insights into the world.

One more thing from over the holiday weekend I can report. We did visit my mom and went for another drive to see if the bison were any closer than last time. As it turned out, they were, and I got some nice pictures, which I'm sure I will be sharing with you before long. They looked like they were posing for the nickle.

I love those old, craggy beasts. I've never been out west, and the only buffalo I've seen have been on farms like these. I can only imagine about 150 years ago when the Great Plains were full of millions of them. That must have been a sight!

The sad truth is that I've never been able to travel much in my life. Never been out of the Great Lakes area. Never seen an ocean or a mountain or a city where English is not the main language. I've wanted to, but it's a matter of getting the time and the money at the same time, and that's the tricky part.

I'm not feeling bad for myself about it, but at the same time, I know that I have missed a lot in life--some good, some bad. But that's what life is, the good and the bad. And I feel you can't appreciate one without the other. I've always thought of it as the old yin-yang thing--you need the bad to appreciate the good, the cold to appreciate warmth, rejection to appreciate acceptance, etc. etc. etc.

I've always been searching for love, for people to accept my love. Can't get it unless you give it away. After all, we all know that the world could use lots more of it.

I'll probably pick up this topic some other day. Oops, here's some stuff I have to do before finishing work. Bye for now.
