The Intervention of Life

In spite of plans and dreams and goals, somehow, life has a funny way of intervening.  It creeps up without notice, inexorable as the tide, as insistent as a hungry child, and without the tiniest realization, before warning, before panic, it’s pulled me under.  I’m just trying to pull myself out and it may take a bit, but eventually, it will happen.  There’s been no planning on our Around-The-World trip aside from realizing that it’s such a misnomer since we aren’t travelling around the world, just select pieces here and there.  Yet, for lack of a better name, Around-The-World (or ATW) it shall stay. 

Besides that, all we’ve done is dream and dream.  Perhaps there will be more progress as the date approaches and the dream becomes closer to reality.  Stay tuned.
