No Mayday needed here!

Look at me being cute with words. First day of May...unreal. A third of the year down. I'm gonna look back at that third as my Gettin It Together BIGtime phase. Won't bore you with details. Time to blossom, though. Today was a great day...cloudy, occasionally rainy, and very humid for the first time this year. It FELT like May, right on cue...as it so often does. And it was a productive day. And i'm happy about that. Finishing up a glass of Blackstone wine now at 2am. Just read a fascinating story online about a 20-year-old whose body was finally found after 75 years in the Four Corners area. A kid wanderer & writer. He'd have been 95 now potentially. The fact that I know that area of the country certainly adds to its appeal, but i've always been struck by imagining the lives of people my age decades earlier...and how we're all just eventually blips on the radar. Uplifting, huh? Well, it can be if you extract lessons and apply them to your own life. There's definitely something sad about it all, though. I basically wanna do exactly what this 20-year-old kid was doing 75 years ago...explore the country and write about it. I'd like NOT to be clubbed by indians and left to die in a desert, though. Happy May!
