Vacation is about over. I loved driving around the hill country of Texas. We will check out to the hotel tomorrow and leave for home. My wife wants to see another attraction then we will leave. We had supper on the river walk. There was a nice breeze and the temperature wasn’t so bad. San Antonio has been over 100 degrees each day. The rain has been going up north to Fort Worth and Dallas. They have had terrible flooding. As long as I can remember I have been in a hurry. Never really taking time to enjoy what I have had in front of me. I always seem to want new and bigger. I could take a project spend 2 years on it and walk away. It is a shame because I have had some good projects. I have written since I was young. I would make up stories and develop them into tales. I have always enjoyed that. The way I tell a story developed over time. I would never reveal the punch line openly. I would wait until people put the story together. Then they would see the punch line clearly. I always wanted people to think and figure it out. Of course, not all people are even interested in the story. But if you write it they will come. That’s a joke. I have collected a vast amount of knowledge. I put it to use in writing this blog. Sometimes it is just too much knowledge. I always find how this knowledge fits together. I would find bits and pieces and then they just fit. I found a saying that Jean Lafitte would say often. Then I found that Jim Bowie would say it also. With what I know about Lafitte and Bowie, I think that Bowie worked on one of Lafitte’s ships. In other words, Jim Bowie was a privateer also. I’ll be headed home tomorrow and now what do I do next?
