Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Douglas Adams work,
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy will finally be released this spring. It looks like they moved the date to late April. The original date was May 6th.
I have been looking forward to this movie for sometime.
It's the little things in life that make you happy.

This was taken in the summer 2004. Thanks Al. I thought it was an interesting shot.
Just another Sunday
It's one of those late winter days. You know the kind. You are tired of being inside all day. Yet it's too cold to go out. Sure I could be doing something constructive. Instead I'm here typing away while listening to an internet radio station.
I'm in a rut, I have been for awhile now. Is this the mid life crisis I've always heard about. If it is, shouldn't I be going out to buy that sports car? Leaving my wife for that 22 year old hottie. Moving into that new apartment and boozing it up.
That's what men in their 40's do at this time in their lives..right?
Let's look at the list. I'm single, so leaving the wife is impossible. Besides I couldn't get a 22 year hottie when I WAS 22.
The sports car, well who can afford that. Besides I have a mortgage to pay, so who needs the apartment.
Shit... I haven't had a drink since 1992.
Am I feeling sorry for myself, no! Well maybe just a tiny bit.
I keep looking around and thinking. Is this it?? Is this how the next 40 or so years are going to go. I sure hope not.
I did decide the other day that things need to change. I'm going to start with my career. Now I just need to figure out how.
Hunter S Thompson
So I usually find myself posting a few quick lines about events for some tour I’m working on. Of course it sort of meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I never said I was a literary force. I hated English class in high school, especially senior year. It’s ironic I always wanted to write a book or a movie screen play. I have a lot of ideas in my head. Getting them to paper is the problem.
This past Sunday’s shocking death of writer Hunter S Thompson got me thinking about it again. No, I’m not saying I want to be like him. I mean who can? It would be nice to be able to write something that people would say I liked it. You have some talent.
His death, along with some others who seem to have accomplished something over the past few years has made me wondering if I’ve wasted my own life. Sure I’ve been able to travel not only in the USA but also overseas. I’ve also met a lot of wonderful people. Many of them I consider good friends.
Maybe it’s time to do something else, or at least something more.
