What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .
...today? Well, I’ve already experienced the excitement of the Puggle getting out of the vet’s treatment room and tearing apart their waiting room and frightening the other cats and their owners. This afternoon I get to drive my friend Inna’s brandy-new car and pick her up at the airport, which will be nice. Then, this evening I’m going to the Museum of Science to hear an MIT scientist who will assist in tomorrow’s landing on Mars of the Spirit rover/explorer.
...over the next week? This week should be pretty quiet. In addition to the Spirit landing, I’m looking forward to leading the annual goals discussion for DargonZine’s 20th year, and the release of a brandy-new Web site for the Pan-Mass Challenge.
...this year? This year, I’m looking forward to getting a new job, surpassing both 10,000 miles on my bike and $10,000 raised in my PMC rides for the war against cancer, doing more and tougher hill climbs on my bike, printing the DargonZine story arc stories that we began at the last Summit, celebrating DargonZine’s 20th anniversary, and taking planned trips to Austin and Oregon. What else? The pro cycling season, the removal of the Central Artery, the Outriders ride…
...over the next five years? Okay, now this is getting annoying. Anyone who lives their life so focused on the future is bound to miss out on the experience of the present, the only time that ever actually is. This is samsara at its worst.
