I want my body back!

And this eating like a rabbit isn't doing it by itself.

Today I did 30 hard minutes on the elyptical, followed by 10 minutes in the hot tub, followed by  lousy 18 situps. I'm gonna do thisz twice a day until I look like this again

and I really need to use a different editor, cause this basic blogger one is less than worthless. I also need to work up some keywords and metadescriptions and stuff. Heck, the blog I started and abandoned on wordpress gets more hits than this one does!

I talked to Mark last night, and we have dates for our summer vacation!! Yeah!!!! We'll be meeting up in Jackson, Wyoming for 6 days of fun beginning July 17. and before we meet with them, I'll actually be taking my family to see Denver!

Well, time to go finish painting the kitchen in the lower level apartment.

shopping

tonight I'm shopping. The eastern slope of the rockies looks like a really cool place to be. Awesome scenery, big city nearby, very cool.

K found one, you can buy a 35 acre mountain top 15 miles from denver for $400,000!
Found a bunch of others that look cool. one 4 acre property off i70 north of evergreen that looks specially cool for running a business.

These places are right next to Denver, yet they are way out in the country, in the forest, in the mountains.

So... what's the point?

This page was intended to discuss my current need to be somewhere else, to remake my existence in another place. My wife thinks I'm having a mid life crisis, she is calling it "manopause."

Really though, that's not it.

Part of the problem with writing this is so far it's mostly people I know who are reading it. They know (as do I ) how good I have it, how little I have to complain about, how much we have been blessed. Still, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of paying the interest  on  3/4 mil of mortgage debt. I'm tired of trying to keep a 4000-sf home clean. Tired of weeding seemingly endless perenial gardens. Tired of getting what's left over after paying my employees. Heck, I'm tired of having employees. 

And I'm really really tired of living in the flatlands. Corn on the right, beans on the left. Smack dab in the middle of the nations breadbasket, highest landmarks are trees and buildings.

I need to be nearer to the mountains. The outdoors. Something other than endless flat lands.

I need to simplfy my life. I need my wife, my kids, my Camaro and my motorhome. A much smaller house with a much bigger shop. LOTS more leisure time, lots more family time. And some good friends to share it with. The rest of it, well can I be done now?
