Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

DROP AND RUN
Question Of The Week 4-18-16
If you could just drop everything and do something you love, what would it be?
Slim and I would take off on a road trip if we could get someone to
Actually, since retirement, that's kind of my life. I do like to spontaneously go on a short trip. We might just leave on Thursday after Bob's eye is checked and find ourselves some spring weather!
You just reminded me that I am not nearly as spontaneous as I use to be. I use to love taking right-turn only day trips when I first got here. I would just drive all day with Mighty Dog exploring country roads while snacking on a cooler. I also called it a tank-of-gas day. I would only make right hand turns which eventually brought me home. Longer road trips were also fun but I needed a cat sitter for that. Think I need to shake loose the doldrums. Thanks.
Was going to say that I would be eating heavily buttered popcorn and watching a stupid movie with my daughter, but then I saw Snaggle Tooth's response and realized I would love to go for a long fabulous horseback ride along the beach.
A little late to the game as I was compouterless for most of last week. I would love to simply write and yes, go back and work in the library. Absolutely loved the job.
It's almost warm enough for a long walk in my favourite park, Toronto Island. That's what I'd like to do: see the lake, the trees, the animals (local wildlife and farm-zoo), and the happy, excited children.
Go for breakfast and we do it often:)
ReplyDeleteI answered this on facebook as work in a library again - like the very first job I ever had, but I like your road trip idea. Hmmm - that sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteI always worry about you and Mama Zen with the tornadoes I see on the news!
It would be something different every day
ReplyDeleteRoad trip...let's go!
ReplyDeleteWrite for a living. I've been a writer since before I was 11, but didn't know it until I was older.

ReplyDeleteNot sure. Thinking, thinking, thinking...
ReplyDeleteWhale watch? Go back to Antarctica?
I would go to someone's house and look after their chickens and cats.
ReplyDeleteOr pottery. ;-)

ReplyDeleteGo horseback riding! I should've been a horse farmer, I'd be so much happier-

ReplyDeleteHowever, I would still want heavily buttered popcorn afterwards.
ReplyDeleteKnowing me, go and buy a new cap! Ha. Well having just got the internet back I'm just happy to sit and read everyone's blogs! I've missed you!
ReplyDeleteLove reading everyone's answers!
