I can't wait to leave the place I am going to want to come back to.

It is about time for a little vacation. The problem is my employer is too cheap to give me vacation time, so by little vacation I mean maybe take off on a Thursday after work, and come home Sunday. Which leaves only a few travel destinations available.

The first being Kansas City, MO, and I have nothing against that. I love KC as a vacation spot in fact...There is a Cheesecake Factory downtown, a ton of nice shops to go to, and of course Worlds & Oceans of Fun! The only downside is I have been there a ton of times and not a lot is really new and exciting.

The second we could go is Chicago, IL. I have never been, but my father is in love with the town, and so are a couple of my good friends so I figure there has to be something good there. I would really like to go to some of the blues bars there and maybe catch a ball game.

The third selection (which is what I really want to do) would be just to head back to Omaha, and spend a few days there in a nice hotel. I know it isn't far, but we both have some catching up to do with friends, and I miss living there a ton. I feel like everyday when I wake up I am hoping I am back on 72nd street, the place I couldn't wait to get away from.

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
