I quit worrying years ago about the “some” who look at me oddly. Time is for tripping. No risk-no reword.

In other words – and please correct me if I’m reading you wrong here – your goal is to spend your time tripping through life’s third quarter. Some might look on that intent a bit oddly. I, on the other hand, would rather wave and wish you good weather and God speed.

In the third quarter, there are no wrong roads. There are just different roads. There are no mistakes. Just, different trips, some good and some better.

That sounds like a thoroughly cool life recipe to me as well. Then again, if you’ve decided to take whatever road comes along next, how will you know if you’ve ever picked that “wrong road” you mention? How can any road be wrong if the next one is always right? Just a thought.

There is an old saying, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there”. I believe that in the first half of one’s life it is important to take the road that gets you “there”. Once you have been “there” it might be more fun to just allow the road, any road, to take you. If you pick the wrong road, big deal, another road will come along soon.
