Melancholy baby

Even though spring is happening, I am having a bit of a down day. Gayle sent this:

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute you'll never get back.

Missing all my friend in far-off lands. Especially missing Mona gone the farthest of all. For Mona: I've been doing lots of things for the first time, and thinking of you when I do. I had a Turkish massage - in Turkey! I Touched Zygmunt's bell for luck- in Castle Wawel in Krakow. I rode my bike to a friends house in Munich. Hope to have more to report soon. I won't be riding in a fighter jet or racing a corvette, but in my way I'm stretching out of my comfort zone.
