I think it’s high time I had a bucket list – a list of things I want to do before I die. I’m not planning on dying anytime soon, but that’s kind of the point: if you wait until you are dying before you start working on your bucket list then you’ve probably waited too …
Recently I lost the RV I have been living in due to flooding. This put me under a lot of stress and left me feeling pretty depressed, so I decided that I needed a vacation. A real, honest to goodness vacation with no other ulterior motive, which has been a rarity in my life. I’ve …
