Went fishing and the temp was -23. Perch did not want nuthin to do with my hook but the trout did so it was pretty nice, though soaking in the hot waters of the Spring was much better.

Talked with a woman who moved to a nearby town a year ago and she was very intelligent and the conversation was nice. We talked about her four daughters, her career at Albertson’s, her training as a physical therapist, her desire to go to New Zealand. It was nice to talk to an open soul.

What was very interesting was how she tried to brave the hot waters but few people can take extreme cold or extreme heat…being a monster I greatly enjoy both. Lately I enjoy soaking in the water and then go lay in the snow where people can’t see me, for about 8 – 10 minutes. Fire and ice are truly my friends.

Yes it was a good day and after the lady departed I thought about people who like to climb mountains, or mountain bike in extreme climes, or do whatever it is people like to achieve in their lives.

I’m boring. I’ve done so many things nobody would believe even a fraction of what I’ve been blessed to have done, yet there is one thing I would like to do some day – walk the entire length of the Great Wall of China.

The Great Wall is over 5,000 miles long and is steeped in history. It would be a definite ‘fun’ thing to do but I’ll save it for another lifetime, this one is busy enough.

Yes, today was another good day to live. When people read this in the future, I hope your day was good also and that you have a dream of achieving something you desire no matter how small or grand.
