Fanciful Plans for the late 40's?

Where do the ridiculous ideas come from?  A lazy brain, or a brain with room and time to be filled?

Slow morning - the forgotten meeting and webex participation saving you some face.  Followed by a lie-in and further bookings of accommodation in Kazan and Saint Petersburg.  There must always be a future trip to dream toward, and that Friends mural will be a sight to see if you can make it there.

"You are the best traveler I know," sayeth Van just now, upon hearing the news of the latest travels...  hard work if you can commit to it.  As anxious as I am for the future to arrive, it is funny in that it has helped look beyond the very real and amazing fact that the flight to Santiago leaves in 77 nights.

In the interim, constantly keeping plans of escape in mind.  Including a quick one in a moment for the bus up to Parklane and a random matinee film.  Pourquoi pas?

But before I run, the thought I wanted to record.  Assuming the Freedom Freeport operation proceeds, the thought is to get involved in the local community, perhaps even via a political riding association.  Which invited a bit of research that begs the questions - if you played a long game, could you find 3000 votes of your own by 2025?  It is not an outlandish speculation, if the destination pub plan succeeds...  Something to keep at the back of your mind as a motivator to get involved in fully promoting Ahab's to its potential.

Ay me.  Life is too short for a single career.  You have balanced this one nicely for awhile with a few forays into professorship and travel expert.  The time to sample the literary publican experience may be soon at hand...
