One of these days we WILL share a toke on your porch! When I get there, I will hardly wait to come down and see you. I'm trying to get my former student/spiritual daughter/pulmonologist in Austin, TX, to hurry up and move to her house up near Mt Hood Village. And take me with her.
I will mostlikely retire to Austin in a couple of years after I turn 70 and get the best SS payment; she's actually considering building me a grow room!!! I mean, I would be sooooo grateful if she made the investment. That's our tentative plan.
But I want to get to OR!!! GRRRRRRR!!!
I cultivate patience: I am quite happy in my life here right now, I just adore my students. I teach at a Historically Black University, and I get along with them--most of them most of the time--very well. We speak the same language.
But: I'm 68. I do stay in the now, because anything else would be foolish and based on fantasy. I hope to be in OR before I'm 75.
