I've assembled a list of fantastic books, movies, and other blogs that truly capture the spirit of adventure.
If it wasn't fathers day today I would begin...
However, my wife Anna is taking me out for the holiday. She is doing exactly what I wanted -
We get in the car, we begin to drive. We have no destination, no itinerary, nothing. We just kinda see where we end up and then we make the most of it.
What an absolutely perfect day! Anna knows I always preach that it is not the destination that matters, it is the journey. So, when there is no destination you get to thrive in the thing that matters most (to me) - the journey.
Obviously we are not going to go anywhere too far, although the thought crossed my mind to drive through the night as far north as we could go....but we will probably just meander around central Kansas until we find a spot that suits us.
The temperature today is 99 degrees F, with a heat index of 106 F. It will be HOT.
Then I think of my good friend Josh who has spent so much time in the Sahara Desert, and I tell myself that although it is hot....its not that hot.
Hot is hot whichever way you feel it! The humidity in the States makes the heat, at times, worse than in the Sahara or other parts of the Middle East, where the heat is always so dry that whenever it rains, it evaporates before it ever touches your skin.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to spend Father's Day. My day has been spent doing Arabic non-stop for the past 8 hours, and I'm sure it'll keep me up well into the night. But then, I'm not a father so this day isn't really for me anyways!
