Where the day takes us. . .

Tonight could have turned out a lot differently. Could be on the road like many travelers tonight stuck on Highway 14. Could have crashed when I went to Carl's Jr. Could have been stuck in Acton snowbound freezing my behind. Could have been out of gas on Vista Point. Roads were hairy. Many people were stuck on the side of the road. Many cars had to get escorts. Saw a few CHP pass up stranded cars. Many cars were spinning and sliding. Many cars did not know how to drive on the icy snow.

Still, don’t think I would want to have it any other way. Went to early morning mass and came home to confirm no one was up for Rose Parade float gawking. Can’t blame them. I was not much into myself since I worked on the float a few weeks back. Plus, since I went to the viewing last year, the excitement factor was only two stars. Sure it would have been nice, but there were many things else to do.

Tried calling some cousins these last few days, but no return calls. Kind of upsets me with some of the flakiness, but it is what it is. If not ready, it is time to move on. Would have liked the company, but it will have to be some other time.

Found myself rained on. Found myself in a place I never imagined. Found myself at place I dismissed simply because of the name. Met someone who visited Ankor Watts. Took some close ups of jellyfish and seahorses. Lost control of the car on purpose accidentally.  Got Yoda to say turn around and you have a rebelliousness streak inside of me (My TomTom) Got my monthly dose of beach water.

Took so many pictures that my camera ran out of juice. Drove so much I worried about running out of fuel.  Passed on Late night at Pacific. I got home a little over eleven. Been on the road for 6 hours. Usually a drive like this would take an hour and half. The weather gods had different plans and the Lakers lost the Grizzlie (what a bunch of crap) Heater is on and the day has to start early tomorrow. Heard a few schools were closed because of snow and the TV has been shut off.

Where do I begin? Obviously this day has been an adventure. One that I thoroughly enjoyed. It has been a day of disappointments and challenges. It has been day of awakening and time for recovery. Its these mini dramas that animates life. Many long for peace and harmony. I understand. I enjoy the little things the controversy, the struggle, the game. Its through these moments that makes a difference. Its these moments in the rain that makes a world of difference.  Well, time to go. Nox is calling.
