Progress

PRAISE GOD I was able to actually sing this morning. It's what I've been praying for for days. I'm still coughing and blowing my nose since, but I was able to do my thing this morning. Thank you, God!

I found this Poli-Toon this morning. I quite like it.

Reunion Decision
I've decided not to go to my 40th high school reunion next month. My "logic" is that I'd need about $500 for the trip, largely because I'd have to rent a car to go. Since all I still have is what's in savings, with nothing new coming in, I feel I cannot afford to spare that much money. And when I can afford it, I'll make a separate trip there since all the people I really want to see still live there.

I've probably made this a more difficult decision than it needs to be. But I often straddle the line between stepping out on faith or being a bad steward of the money.  So this is where I fall this time. And now my mind is freed up on this, at least.

But that's it until tomorrow.

Vacation '10, pt 1

The toughest part of vacations for me seem to be just deciding what I'm going to do. Maybe I make it more difficult for myself, but I don't think so.

The biggest obstacle is that Gretch cannot get away. I can come up with many possibilities if it were the two of us. But when it comes up to just me alone, that's when it gets tough.

First, I want to go someplace. A "staycation" doesn't do it for me. But I don't particularly like doing vacation-type stuff alone. I like to share the fun with someone.

I'd like to go back to Manhattan. I've loved it both times I've gone. Sure I needed a rest after it was over, but there was always more stuff I wanted to do when the trip was over.

There are some cities I'd like to visit that I've never been too. Chicago, Denver, Philly, Vegas and others. In the summer, I'd prefer to go north.

If I'd thought of it early enough I would have gone to the huge Comic-Con in LA this summer. It's so geeky that I would have to go by myself. But it's been long sold out.

So I cruise the net and bash my brains for ideas? If you have any, please comment.

Ready for a Road Trip

Ok, I'm ready for a road trip. So, I got online to check out concerts this summer. There really aren't many good artists touring this summer that I want to see. Those few that I do, the available locations are on unworkable nights. Except for one.

Both Yes and Peter Frampton, on the same bill, are playing Biloxi on Friday night, June 11th. I can actually do that one. So, I've put the announcement out. But I'm determined to go whether anyone else goes or not. So now all I have to do is wait.

Other than that I don't know what I'm going to do for vacation this year. I pray that God inspires me.
