April 24th, 2024

 It is National Bucket List Day. There are several things that I would like to cross off my list, but at this point I’ll just be realistic.

I’d love to visit Scotland or France. Go on a safari in Africa or Australia. Maybe eat some crazy cuisine in the Orient. Get naked in a hot tub with some NFL cheerleaders in Vegas. Oh wait…. I’ve done that!
My bucket list is, and you’ve heard these end plays before… get the Shepkids to adulthood and end up in a condo on Edgewater Beach or a cabin on a hill by a creek in southern Indiana. Those are my buckets in the grand prize game of life.
A cold front came off the lakefront overnight. The sun will be smiling, but the wind will have a bite on this last Wednesday of April.
If today is the last Wednesday of April, that means we are sliding into the last weekend of April.
That also means these mother fucking cicadas are about to invade our yards. Let’s blame our dysfunctional government for this mess.
Alright…. Let’s get it on Chalkheads!
Go out and spread small acts of kindness and try to be astonished.
