How soon... and how...

I got out and spoke to friends today. I really appreciated my chat with Laxmi. She's a fellow budget traveler; so, she understands my age/travel dilemma.

She suggested that I sign up for a tour and spend a bit of money since I have far too much saved up (due to no travel for two years). She's in the same situation.

So... Laos/Cambodia? Or after speaking with Zehra... Pakistan?

Laxmi has signed up for a repositioning cruise out of Rome to the Caribean come autumn. I must consider that too.

I also scored a choclate cupcake with peanuty frosting. Lucky me!

I must attend to the blog challenge later but until then I have an epsode of Thai TV to watch.

Maybe my new prompt #1 will "cotton candy — land or sea, beach or mountains, prairie or city, hot or cold or ___. Where would be best for growing up, making a living, growing old?"

...

Andy Smith: When you're lost out there and all alone, a light is waiting to carry you home.

But then there's the QotD:

*Bulletv* a box of blank notebooks
*Bulletv* a strong opinion about the Oxford Comma
*Bulletv* a horror story about losing an unsaved draft
*Bulletv* at least 3 fun coffee mugs

Which of these do you have
and what can you add to the list?

I answered:

I don't care a hoot about the oxford whatever; in fact... I don't care about oxford!

Language serves those who use it. Commas, are, the, least, of, my, worries,

Notebooks, papers, a collection of spent pens.

And coffee. Coffee matters.
