What Do You Want Your Life To Look Like?

I'd like to prompt some discussion over the next few days. A good friend asked me a question this week as we were discussing life and love over many bottles of wine...

"What do you want your life to look like?"

I didn't understand the question, so I had to ask her whether she meant from my eyes or others? The answer, of course, was to forget about what others see, what do you want your life to look like. I asked her to ask the question another way and she said...

"What does your dream life look like?"

Now, that's a series question. I'm a realist, so I can't live--nor do I want--the life of a celebrity that's lost all privacy. Though I often get tired of the world, I still need to be with the people and in it periodically.

So, tell me, what does your dream life look like?

Mall Walk

The Mall in DC is a decked out for a party. WOOT!

Just about got run over by the officers making their way to Union Station last night to meet Obama's train. So, I stopped in Johnny's Half Shell and had a delicious bowl of warming gumbo while a jazz quartet played in the background. I was the only one in the whole place... what gives?

Anyhow, if you are in town, go see Katie and Ben behind the bar... great people that like to engage in great conversation.

Cheers,
B
