Cataclysmic events may have taken place in the last few days, but I was out of touch with the world.
I was tickled this morning to receive a spam on my blog from somebody, whose first language was obviously not English, selling Cialis. Now there's something I really don't need.
In my personal Book of Lists I named some things I will enjoy about living alone. Privileges like waking up, turning on the bedside light and reading at 2am if I feel like it. Getting to drive my own car all the time, which will make me a more confident and competent driver. Playing my favorite music anytime I want, as loudly as I want, even in the car. Listening to talk radio. Getting back the remote, or even not having a TV if I choose. Staying as long as I like at a party. Making my own travel plans, and when traveling, being free to indulge my curiosity. Maybe crewing on another boat or two.
The negatives are mostly fears for the future, which doesn't have to loom large in my life. Un poco a poco, I will meet them, get scared and then overcome them.
One thing I really must do is make another list, of new names for this blog. First Mate is no longer apt. I'm not sure how to change the name without losing my few but faithful readers. Any ideas?
