What are your future travel plans? Actually, I have nothing to say here today about the travails of traveling, but I did want to comment about these prompts, which seem to be repeating themselves a bit, with minor variations. Since I try to not repeat myself (though I don’t always succeed), I’d like the promptsContinue reading “Travel Travails”

Pick ONE!
Another birthday passed. Last year I used a reference to “I Can’t Drive 65!” by Sammy Hagar. This year I am saying that I’m starting out getting my kicks on Route 66. I believe this will exhaust the birthday highway messages (unless I usher in next year’s day with “Life is a Highway”). On aContinue reading “Pick ONE!”
Signage
I’m going through my phone and deleting some photos, and came upon some signs with intriguing messages. So I thought I’d share them here. Can you guess which one is from the US?
Countries to Visit?
What countries do you want to visit? I was going to begin with a list of places I did not want to visit, but thought that sounded negative, so I’ll begin with the positive “where I do want to go” places. Since we already have a trip to the UK planned for this fall (England,Continue reading “Countries to Visit?”
Oldest Item?
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? I’m a bit baffled by this prompt. I don’t think anything I have fits this category. As I look back on my life I think of it as several lifetimes. Before College, The College Years, Post-Graduate, Career, and now Retirement. And having moved physicallyContinue reading “Oldest Item?”
Luxury!?
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? An odd prompt. Once again, I am pressed to define something before I can comment on it. To me, a luxury is something that one doesn’t need but possesses to enjoy. Luxuries are those things that one can win on a game show. I don’t need aContinue reading “Luxury!?”
Having It All
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable? Is “having it all” attainable? Well, first, I think it means success in career and a happy home life, and checking off all the boxes on the bucket list. Incidentally, does anyone know where the term “bucket list” came from? I know there wasContinue reading “Having It All”
Pirate or Ninja?
Are you a leader or a follower? My title is not an equivalent question to today’s prompt (“Are you a leader or a follower?”) but it’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the question. I would always ask students to introduce themselves on the first day of classes, and I wanted themContinue reading “Pirate or Ninja?”
Hell’s Bells!
What makes you nervous? My post title comes from something my Great-Aunt Catherine used to say. She was likely in her 60s, and we would occasionally visit her. She was the “rich aunt,” in the big house outside of town. Her husband made his money in trucking, and so they had the large manse, theContinue reading “Hell’s Bells!”
Arriving Somewhere…Not Here…
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why? In the run-up to the last election, I posted a short video on TikTok, asking, “What are you for?” So many people were posting what they were against, and I thought I’d take a more positive approach. The one longer comment I gotContinue reading “Arriving Somewhere…Not Here…”
