Stop, Thief!


I've finally done it! After years and years of determined effort, I've stolen the Matterhorn. Just had to have it...  because it's there.

Was scrolling through my Twitter feed (I don't post but keep up, as they say.) and came to be reading through comments. One of them was from a witty woman so I read her profile and posts. Evidently, she's a Brit living in NYC and something of a travel maven. Many excellent shots. This was one of them. It was hours ago and I don't remember her name, so I can't credit. A bit of a virtual escape.

Am reminded of visiting Disneyland. (Have never been to Europe.) In 1973. Growing up watching Disney show on Sunday nights, was a tyke when they opened Disneyland. A longing never to be fulfilled, so far away and "We can't afford it."

Went with my ex-wife, of similar sentiment, and we had a blast. Somehow we scored a couple of doobies. It really was a memorable day of childhood recaptured. In mine dotage that is all I choose to remember... the bliss.
