Just a couple of more days...


Friday we get on a big plane and travel to Colorado for out vacation. Should be an adventure. In the very least we will be able to have a couple of weeks of relatively stress free living, no alarm clocks to wake us up, no boom-booms from the army training we always hear from our house. Plus we shall have the mountains to enjoy. And good friends. I just hope the travel goes well, I hate going through airports, waiting for trains, ect. I am hopeful we wont get made fun of too much for our backward german ways. And I hope we dont get hit by a car on the road if we get to ride bikes. My wife can be a bit of a road hog...when she believes she has the right of way. And Wyoming, we are going there for fun. 2 more states I have never been to, marked off the map. More to come....

A fun picture to look at.



Just a happy thought, miss you honey!!!

Me lazy man? NoOOOO, me busy man.

Too darn busy to sit and write down stuff in my own blog. Mostly I 'troll through all my normal blogs to see what happenin, maybe slip in a rude comment or 2 when its appropriate, or inappropriate even. I am not doing much, our boring lives just trudge on, but soon we shall be visiting Colorado and Montana, even just for shits and grins. Oh, yeah, visit the kids along the way, talk to some of the yocals, see whats up. Seems my wife now has it in her head we should buy a home there to live out the remaining decades of our lives. O.K., sounds like a plan, but I like town. I dont want to live in the middle of the woods, all dark and scary. Plus, I enjoy being able to walk to WALK to a store to buy a loaf of bread or whatever and NOT have to drive 10 miles, ya know what I mean? Not New York, just not the boonies, o.k.? I am sure we will work something out, I am sure I am not the only one that feels this way. We love the mountains, though...wide open spaces, hiking, biking, that sort of thing; clean air. Just as long as we dont get A) attacked and eaten by bears, or other wild animals, or B) have to explain to people why we dont like skinheads, nazis, bikers, gun lovers, preverts or other assorted nut cases that believe that freedom means freedom to get in my face. Please, please DONT. Thanks. Happy trails, see you all in 2 weeks.
