When we got to our relations in Nova Scotia, some friends of theirs dropped in 2 days later. Unbeknownst to both ourselves and our relatives, they had taken 2 1/2 months crossing Canada from Sidney, BC. Only about 1 1/2 hour drive from where we live. They intended to take another 3 months on their return trip!

Man, that would be a blast. I guess I'll be doing a lot of traveling once I hit the lottery jackpot. Maybe someday I'll double my chances of winning and actually buy a ticket.
[Old joke, yes, I know. I still find it funny, though.] Quote:In Jr. High School, I would take a gummi bear, squeeze its ears into points so it looked like Yoda, and then I would say to it "Eat you, I will!". And of course then I would it eat.

I've been to the one in London, and the Louvre this year. They were surprisingly interesting stuff. Maybe as I get older, I start to appriciate the past more.

I think that happens to everyone to some degree.

I know it hasn't had that effect on me. Apart from my regression as far as music tastes (I was a classical music snob as a kid; now I listen to Bananarama and Kylie Minogue), I resent my own past. Maybe that's because it's full of regrets and angst, but I resent it all the same.

I can relate somewhat; I was the same way about music - among other things, but my eyes were finally opened when I moved here to Texas. It sure took a while, though, and while I wish my past were different, what matters now is what I can take from it and how I can face the present.

What brought you to Texas? How did it change your views?

Family issues. And it was mostly that my life prior to then was being a little kid who hardly did anything and was rather scared of the "outside world," only to discover that it wasn't quite as scary as I thought once I met some cool people here (among other places).

So, the CC community are the cool people now, JB?
