Poetry in emotion

Spending some time prepping for my roadtrip.  Made a donation to Red Cross to help out Houston.  The stories from Houston are unbelievable.

Anyway, I woke up this morning in a little bit of a dark mood (not related to retirement, just some stuff going on).

Here is a haiku for the day:

Retirement is great
I am smiling every day
Except when I’m not

UPDATE:
I went for a nice walk at Longwood today and had lunch there outside by the pump house (one of my friends and I call that area ‘Paris.’)  Tried the Victory Oro Blanco beer – it is made with grapefruit grown on the Longwood property!  Each year Victory teams up with Longwood to make a special Longwood beer.  Yes, I liked it.

I also neglected to mention earlier that I bought my ONE WAY ticket to Boise.  That trip is in a couple weeks.  I have no idea what or where I’m doing/going after that.  Or how/when I’m getting home.  So, that will be interesting for me.  Especially since I usually like planning things to the ‘nth’ degree.

OK.  So right now I am smiling.
