I am enjoying just letting each day happen as it will.  I make plans but 
refuse to allow those plans drive me.  Leave it open and enjoy what 
surprise is around the next bend or in the next day.

I have been working harder than I have in a long time.  I am parked on a 
farm in Hollister, CA and spent most of the last three weeks sitting on a 
tractor.  He was behind when I got here and now is almost caught 
up.  Tiring but fun and bouncing across a field for 10-12 hours a day gives 
you plenty of time to think.

I call it semi retired, no job, no plans, no money.  Now if I could just 
get someone to share the ride.

You have the perfect life and now you want to muck it up!

Look who's talking.

I understand.
