August?

Hey, it's the middle of August already! Hard to believe that this year has flown by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was cleaning snow off the walkway, and Oh Boy"! It's almost time to do it again. I'm being sarcastic, I HATE winter with a passion. I keep saying that "someday" we are going to move someplace where the sun shines all day and the temps are in the upper 70's every day but I know I'm just dreaming. I imagine I will be here until I die and for a looooong time after that so I should just suck it up and come to grips with the fact that I'm not going to hit the lottery like I planned.

I used to think that retirement was a long way off and I had plenty of time to get ready, but life kind of got in the way and now time is spinning really fast down the other side of that mountain. I'm pretty sure there is a crash at the bottom for me, but I'm gonna hang on tight and hope for the best.

Travel around the world? Eat my way through Europe? Motorcycle through the Alps? Not likely I guess, but like I always say "It is what it is".

Maybe in my next life if I can build up enough Karma in this one. I keep looking for one of those credit cards that let you build points. I thought maybe they have one for Karma points but I haven't found one yet. When I do I'm going to max that sucker out before I go.
