So about that poem... :-)

Why tell your grandkids you worked nine to five..
Five days a week for 40 years
And quietly sat in traffic jams while people went to war, suffered disease
And brothers killed brothers?
Why not tell them that you refused to live in fear?
Tell them you crossed the Amazon,
Saw the lost cities of gold
And met your soul mate in Casablanca.
Travel to the ends of the earth
Go now and live adventures that will
Make your grandkids proud.

I found it on this webpage:
http://www.apus-peru.com/adventure_peru.htm

...but it was originally adapted from a STA travel promotion.

A life lived in fear is a life half lived

What the title says.

For some unknown reason that line keeps going round and round in my head.

I think it's telling me to get out there and live life. Have fun. Do what I want to do. Take risks. Try new things. Live life.

I would like to put that STA travel poem here, but the brief search I did just then didn't find it. :-/
You know - the "make your grandkids proud" one.

And now I have Goldeneye the James Bond theme in my head. Not sure if that signifies anything. Better listen to some Josh instead :-)
