Goodby My Friend

 

Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

Today's Date: 5-13-2022



The day was easing along well and the OFM was taking it easy on some sensitive joints today. Lunch came and went and the OFM was sitting at the window chasing blog fodder for this blog tonight.

Too much activity outside for this very quiet campground got my attention. So on with the shoes and meander out to see what is going on.

At the top of the blog header it says

DON'T WAIT. DO IT NOW.

The last line of each blog entry advocates trying to have tooooo much fun.



We meandered into a couple of police cars and several folks standing around.

One of the nicest men in the world and only in his fifties had passed on to his rewards this day, He and the OFM had discussed both of the blog lines several times in the passing years and agreed that both lines were important to a good life. Mark was a leader at trying to have tooooo much fun, NOW.

  1. Sorry to read of your friends passing. For someone his age it is heartbreaking. As each day passes, our time gets shorter. That's why we all need to do it now, and have too much fun while we can...jc

    1. Each year I appreciate more that I chose to "DO IT NOW" the last time I decided to quit a job.
