i liked the boomer bed and breakfast idea...
your dreams aren't dumb or unrealistic...

lots of people had the idea to go to the moon and some worked hard to get there but they didn't...it takes just the right combination of things and sometimes we get so caught up in what we think is right that we pass right over what really is right...sigh...

i bought a giraffe today...it's carved out of wood and beautifully painted, about 3 feet tall...i bought it off the guy who comes up from kenya every now and then...his skin is so dark it's hard not to keep looking...it makes his eyes shine all that much more when he smiles...the little tent he sets up is no bigger than would house a car but it's a respite from all the noise and commotion outside of it...
i buy a lot of stuff from him, soapstone and batiks...he always gives me a little something for free...today it was a tiny soapstone elephant with an upturned trunk...he said elephants with upturned trunks bring good fortune...i started to say something, he stopped me and said "you need good fortune"...
who am i to argue?
