In this newsletter, I say goodbye and hint of my own upcoming adventure. Enjoy  “Only he who risks going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” ~ T.S. Eliot ~~Image #401440 Sharing Restricted~~  ~~Image #401442 Sharing Restricted~~ On the Road You know that question, what would you do if you won the lottery? Your answer is supposed to reveal what job you would like best. My answer is simple enough: I'd buy an RV and perhaps write while traveling. I never thought to actually do that, though. I mean, what real job is there? Should I work for a travel agency, be a starving author, or sell recreational vehicles? "Whither goest thou, America, in thy shiny car in the night?" ~ Jack Kerouac Recently, though, I've been given an opportunity to get paid to travel. The upside will be seeing around 300 different places per year. The downside will be having no particular home. Shall I take on the gypsy life for a while?

I think it's important to have some goals, or else I might find that I've just been spinning my wheels when I had the chance to have some adventure. “A road, a mile of kingdom, I am king Of banks and stones and every blooming thing.” ~ Patrick Kavanagh (Irish poet) The open road offers me freedom from the daily grind. I wonder then, what else in wandering I may find. Seeya around  ~~Image #401445 Sharing Restricted~~ Some road-worthy tales I found:
