i hope not to become

an addict to blog-posting, you see it's been 3 in two days, but what the hell, what's one to do in upstate new york with lots of time and lots of snow, but shovel the snow and post the blogs.

Soooo.... yesterday at poker night (7pm: bible study, 8pm: poker, not kidding), after me losing two precious dollars, we played our weekly question game. Everyone gets one card, the highest card ask the lowest card a question, anything, lo que sea, everything goes. In that spirit:

If you were given wings with which to fly anywhere, where would you go right now? (Ignore eventual tiredness, or cold temperatures, for all practical purposes I could have asked where'd you like to be beamed to, but wings are more romantic than Scottie and the teletransporter).

i'd like to go to china. i'd fly accross the pacific (maybe stop off in surrey on the way), make a stop in japan for some karaoke, then fly out to the chinese countryside where i'd take in all the crazy beauty and stillness.
and, since we're being fantastic, i'd go back in time a couple thousand years, and hang out with confusius then, later, lao tsu, and return to my own time very calm and collected.

or maybe i could just go to vegas and lose all my money to strong drink and fast women. i think that that's what all the kids are doing these days.

i'm not sure.

i'd like to fly to europe. my third grade adventure wasn't enough.

i'd also like to see everything in between.

if i had those crazy time travel wings, i'd be interested in flying back to the turn of the century, in germany i think.

Including time travel wings would make me think too hard, so I'll keep it simple. I'd fly to Edinburgh to see my brother. I guess I'd make several stops on the way there, like Sioux Center, Winnipeg, Sara P.'s town (see my ignorance of Canadia's geography), L.A., Minneapolis, and Lochcarron. But not in that order, of course.

It's Vancouver, Canada. I hate that Canadia thing. Don't do it.

I would probably fly up north to see my family. Since I'm already in Florida, I don't need to escape cold winters. I would visit my friends in California and Iowa, and then head up to Seattle and chill there for awhile.

I'd fly to the pooper because this diarrhea knows no limits. Then I'd fly to London and murder the RCM panel for not giving me a place, and if I could fly back in time, I would snipe every single pianist in the age of 17-19 in the London area that day.
Then I would fly into the future so I could see where I'm going to be next year and when I'd be getting married.
Finally, I would fly to the high streets and hope to get my christmas shopping done. Sheesh. I'm not really exciting at this am I.
P.S.: Never under any circumstance would I fly over an ocean. ugh. stupid birds. unless there were lots of stopping places ofcourse. like little caribbean islands with bikini occupied ladies and lots of apple juice. with pineapple and banana puree.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Located just above the USA border, right along the west coast of Canada. Its a beautiful place and you should definitely check it out.

My first thought was that I would love to see Stonehenge, but I don't think that would be very sustaining. So, Stonehenge will be an inconvenient stopover on my journey to my continental African tour (not just safari) starting in Sierra Leone, since that's where I lived my pre-memory years, ending in South Africa, since thats where one of my current best buddies is from.

...I have about fifty other flight plans but this one will have to do.
