So now where do I go?
Back in the summer of 2006 I started planning my 50th birthday. Where did I want to be?
I chose Italy. Even found a nice place in Tuscany with a golf course.
Settled.
Unsettled.
London. It's gonna be London. That way we can take the train to Paris and Liverpool and London is really cool.
Settled.
Unsettled.
EXPENSIVE!! The dollar just keeps dropping and July is a pretty popular time to go to London so I would run into buttloads of stupid Americans.
Boston. Fenway Park. The Green Monster seats on my birthday. Very cool. And if the Bosox aren't in town that day we could fall back on plan B. Yankee Stadium in NYC. Cool. I have a friend in D.C. and she would love to have us at her place. From D.C. we could take the train everywhere. And of course we could spend the better part of a week just seeing everything in D.C.
SETTLED!!
Unsettled?
The kids have started grumbling. They want to go too! They want to be with the old man when he turns 50. Of course they REALLY want to go to D.C. and NYC. You know how kids are. If I stayed home they would be, "call us when you blow out the candles". But I must admit that my birthday celebrations are pretty mellow like that anyway. Even I just show up when it's time to blow out the candles.
But not THIS year.
