Howdy Howdy all!

Well in an effort to never spend another night at home I am to be on the move again quite soon. A friend called last night to say that they want to go to some herb farm in Fredricksburg. I of course said yes without even knowing anything about this place or ever actually having heard of this place. As luck and technology would have it there is a website. There is a day spa that offers reflexology and various massage options. Of course my friend wants to go hiking and camping a few days before somewhere in the area and then round out the trip with a lovely lovely pamper session at the herb farm's B&B. This trip is a birthday retreat for them so I had to say yes. RIGHT? Anyway I have a sneaking suspicion that I am being "fixed up" because I was later informed that the desire for as many folks as possible was the goal of this friend. Grrrrr! So now there will be 4 camper/hikers and that maybe they too will be sojourning  to the B&B at the same time as we! This annoys me a touch because I am not in the mood to be fixed up, down or any other direction right now.

I dont really have the time to devote to cultivating a NEW liason, especially when there are still loose ends from old liasons still creeping up around me. Trying to bury old feelings (that nothing fruitful will come of unfortunately) and to reconcile old ways of being with new awarnesses(is  that a word?).

Plus, I just don't want any new shit right now damn-it! I know, I know, one never knows when from random and/or semi-random events a new Future may be realized. UGH....well at any rate I am gonna go because I like road trips, new adventures, hiking, camping, massages, herbs and this friend. It will likely be the second week of march since that is my Spring Break time and their(is it "i" then "e"?) vacation times. Anyway if you have been to this herb farm give me a shout and tell me something I definetly want to do/see while in the area! Anyway, now we have poetry....here goes....

If

IF life were but a dream, my Love,
And death the waking time;
If day had not a beam, my Love,
And night had not a rhyme, --

A barren, barren world were this
Without one saving gleam;
I'd only ask that with a kiss
You'd wake me from the dream.

If dreaming were the sum of days,
And loving were the bane;
If battling for a wreath of bays
Could soothe a heart in pain, --

I'd scorn the meed of battle's might,
All other aims above
I'd choose the human's higher right,
To suffer and to love! --Paul Laurence Dunbar
