I spent my birthday in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. It was pretty good. Lots of good hiking there. I don't think I'd like to live on a mountaintop however. It feels kinda like living in a suburb; you can't walk anywhere. I am squarely middle-aged, and I am having very middle-aged feelings and thoughts. I am not sure if time is on my side, I assume it is, but I have resources to do things that I didn't for most of my existence. What to do? I am taking measure of my priorities. Not looking to do anything drastic, just thinking about where and what I want to be in the next few years. I drove my RC car with my daughter and my brother and his two kids. It was a lot of fun. Then I drove in front of my brother's when he was headed for the ramp. New wheels are in the mail.
