will post more today later. i figure if i start a post, no matter how short or half-hearted I'll be tempted to come and finish it before the day's done...time will tell; yes it will.
I met Vera, a 99-year old rockin' granny, a few days ago. She talked my ear off and though she was 5 times my age (literally (almost)) she's the one who had the energy and left me feeling more bouyant afterwards. I'm going to try to make it to her hundredth birthday party in February. She gave me these timeless nuggets of wisdom:
1. When you travel, keep a journal, or at least log a sentence or two stating where you were on what day; that way, when you're 99 you can reminisce about your travels and actually know where and when your adventures took place.
2. When you get married, kiss your spouse goodnight, even (and especially if) you don't feel like it.
3. Go to Honduras (while one and two are transcendent truths, I think that this third piece of advice (not that this is a bad thing, just saying its not timeless) simply comes from Vera's desire to visit Honduras. Vera, if I ever hit up Honduras, you'll be the first to know. If you're dead then, be comforted that your Honduras dream was fulfilled vicariously through my travel there.
