Well… here I am. Setting up to hit the road on my cross-country journey. It’s hard to believe that only two weeks ago this trip wasn’t even a thought of mine. You see, this hasn’t been a life-long dream of mine – nor is it a whim brought on by a mid-life crisis. Infact, this trip wasn’t even my idea… it was Jen’s idea. Yup, you heard me right — I think she got burned out from seeing me every day – 24/7 kind of thing. We’re both very individual people and we happen to also both work out of the house. I’m comfortable with that but Jen feels a little “closed in”… Her original suggestion was that I leave until December!! – What the Hell!?
However, I immediately sensed an opportunity to break free and take advantage of possibly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and asked: “how much will you PAY me to leave?”. She mentioned a figure that sounded attractive to me and I then negotiated to leave for half that time for half the amount that she offered. A deal was struck. See ya in 90 days!!
Lookin’ fit and trim in the pic… You seem to be packed pretty light too.
Is that a folding camp chair I see on the back…? Wimp.
