Derailed once again
Determination should count for something. My mind seems to wander with ways to get to New York. A little herniated disc should not stop someone from their divine quest for metro satisfaction. My heart belongs to New York, but my body has different plans. Oh sure, after a trip to the doctors an MRI and a steroid pack, I feel a bit better, but time is now the robber of my escape from the daily routine. I must prepare for an adventure that is bittersweet. I will be exploring a place I have never been to before, Aspen, Colorado with my family and a few friends. Sounds wonderful, exciting. Aspen in the winter! A skiers (or snowboarders) dream. I, however will not be participating in any of these sports, I have been advised to "take it very easy". My two sons however, will be snowboarding, watching sports, photographing and videotaping all the action, and hopefully having an experience of a lifetime. I am thankful that our relationship has reached the level of both parent/child and friends, it makes life so much more pleasant. I will enjoy their company, investigate the area and search out the quaint shops and wonderful restaurants, armed with my camera in a feeble attempt to capture the beauty of the land and festivities around me. I am regretful that I have once again missed my weekly New York pilgrimage. I am forever grateful for the opportunity that has presented itself to me and vow to make it the best trip I can. After all, New York will always be there with all its sparkle; but Aspen, with my family, that may be once in a lifetime and I am not about to pass on an opportunity to create new memories that will carry us into the future and keep us warm on a cold winter night. Aspen has its work cut out for it, but no matter the outcome, the challenge will be fun.
