I’m home!!! Really I only put the exclamation marks because I’m a total fatalist and always imagining that around every corner there waits something that will kill me prematurely (which would be a bummer, because I’m completey planning to live until I’m 106).
I traveled to Missouri for a Board meeting for my High School’s Alumni Association. It’s always an interesting meeting, as those who sit on the board are primarily old pastors and me. I find it reasonably entertaining despite the fact that the meetings take an average of 4 hours (pastors do enjoy talking…or hearing themselves…the jury is out on that one).
The scenery between Seward, Nebraska and Concordia, Missouri is really rather bland in the winter. The summer is very green and lovely, what with all the crops and a landscape that allows you to see for miles, but the winter, eh?
This picture made me think of the song:
“Miles from nowhere,
Guess I’ll take my time,’
Oh yeah, to reach there.” Cat Stevens
Wait … isn’t he the one who might be considered a terrorist now with some new funky name … good thing you didn’t know that on your trip … you never know where terrorists are lurking.
Haha! I keep reading the first sentence and this is what I see: “…because I’m a total fascist and always imagining that around every corner there waits something that will kill me prematurely” Fascist! hehe
Actually, I keep thinking I would like to live to a ripe old age, but the more I think about it, the more I expect to be killed suddenly by a falling piano. Or a giant fat lump. Or a monkey.
Or a fat, lumpy monkey playing the piano?
