Year End 5's.

Two much thinking/mulling/musing/whimping, not enough discussion. Let the 5s begin!

FIVE THINGS I WILL DO NEXT YEAR


1. Ride with the San Jose Bike Party ride, with Morgan and/or Rick. Represent waltzing/tweed there, perhaps.

2. Finally go visit the Winchester Mystery House. Never done it. With someone. Cathyn?

3. Run a 5 K.

4. Make it to some of the big events: Estrella, West/An Tir, Pennsic?

5. Dang. I forget #5. Little help? Can you suggest an Adventure?

Today I took my nephew to Santa Cruz, on the philosphy that vacation demands adventure. Drove 17 in a weakening windstorm, talking about everything and nothing, visited huggy friends (one of whom was suddenly shy), bought spices at the Herb Room (superior pickling spice there, but couldn't resist buying some sassafras root, wildgathered.) Took him down to the mall, where he bought a new plank, and I cruised the winter farmer's market. Drove by the beach then back over the hill; lots of driving for...adventure!

Listening to DJ Mashup, getting things together. Where will we go today?

Should you decide to come to Pennsic, we'll be delighted to see you :-)

Re 2- I approve! It's well worth the trip.

Well, you know I vote for An Tir/West. Or West/An Tir. Whichever one you'd like to attend.

Melissa and I were talking about number ... wait I can't say it that way. going to the Winchester Mystery House. It could be an adult field trip.

Let's go to Hearst Castle!

Hearst Castle is really neat!

#5 idea: if you get to Boston, you'll have free guest bed with us.

I've never been to the Winchester House either.

It's worth the trip -- at least a day trip.

Would LOVE to go to the Winchester Mystery House--Aaron and I were just talking about a trip there--neither of us have ever been.
