You are only lost if you give up hope

I love today! It has been a wonderful day from start to finish and I might even have to make August 16th a holiday in my book to see if I can repeat it year after year

So glad you had a good day and made it safely to Beantown and back with your Sis. Yeah for hearing about a wonderful travel day! I'm registering with you that I read the last part of your post, but I can't do it the justice it deserves from here, so either tonight after work or in the morning I'll reply again.

The last time T (no, not that T, the other T) and I were at Logan, we had to go around 3 times before we found the rental car return. Of course, that was before the Big Dig was "completed" so there was giant construction nonsense

I think I and all the construction workers in Boston missed the memo on the Big Dig being 'completed'. Unless of course the Bostonians have gotten so used to having the big earth movers and scaffolding everywhere so now they just pay the construction workers to do what they were doing before without actually building anything. Hum...this is an interesting theory that I will have to look into. Considering how many people are at a road construction site standing around watching one guy do all the work. Though I am sure that if T was their foreman they would be off their lazy asses and actually working...well that and they wouldn't be building roads, but you know what I mean. :D

What keeps me going? Being squished in squishy hugs by the Princelings, standing by the Chagrin River when I should be at work, the taste of a cider after Job2 while the house is quiet, posting your sister's LJ and seeing you and your brother on there thinking "I know these people" and we're all able to communicate like this over hundreds of miles, cleaning the barn at the parent's farm listening to classical music, baking bread, remembering the view from Camel's Hump, kissing my wife, seeing a girl, especially an intruiging girl in a bookstore, seeing the moon, Prince Bear singing, putting on hiking boots, old churches, autumn leaves, hitting a long drive on the golf course, bricks, sailboats, drumming... I guess in short enjoying life because I'm here. Maybe it is inertia, maybe fighting against the void. Maybe hoping against hope I can get my family to a place where I feel we'd all be better off. No one thing except, how do those Frenchies say it? Feeling the Joy of Life...

Family, nature, communication, working to create something useful, enjoying life to it's fullest. More to think about...thank you O'Foxy one.
