  Holy bejeezus! nbsp;  I just got off the phone with an old friend who I haven't heard from in ages. nbsp;  I like the fact that we were able to talk like there was never any time loss between meetings. nbsp;  I think it's an inherent trait that I have.  We talked about my relationships that I've had over the years,
 and he helped me to understand something:
nbsp;
 That I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with the rest of my life.  Granted I've been aware of this from day one,  but I'm glad for it.
nbsp;
 And now that I've beaten around the bush,  here's what I'm trying to get at;  I don't want to be responsible for anyone on this trip.
nbsp;
 I don't think I could live with the burden of wrecking someone else's ride just because I don't have everything mapped out.
nbsp;
 You know,  I think I've made this point elsewhere in this blog,  but I don't care.
nbsp;
 I'll not deal with lost luggage or bad accommodations.
nbsp;
 I don't want to compromise myself.  Though I think I need a beer before the drive .
