It is gorgeous outside today. A little breezy, but we really can't complain when the sun is blazing down like this. The work with my dad has settled down a little bit, but it's unpredictable. Some days are short, some days are long. I'm also still doing my wee bit of work at the pub, so it's nice to earn a little bit of money. It's good to be busy in general. I've have been growing increasingly concerned about the next step, though. This way of living is not something I can or want to do for very much longer; unfortunately, the thought of The Future makes me break out in a cold sweat. I have made little progress on the book: getting home and thinking "nah, I'm too tired - tomorrow", which never got anyone anywhere. On the plus side, a couple of friends read the first draft, and didn't hate it. Yeah! So basically I'm coming to a point where I really need to plan my next move. Move back up to Dublin and look for bar work, maybe? I dunno; I don't know what I want. Oh no, I'm one of those millenials. Two days ago was the anniversary of the start of my walk. Hopefully, I will post a Hubski write-up before the anniversary of its end. I watched Rashomon the other day and I think I've discovered where the convention in anime of intense closeups comes from. The film's great; check it out.
Now I'm hungry and curious. Actually Ireland is part of the visa waiver programme, so we don't need a visa to visit. (For 90 days. I have a general desire to walk across the States in a few years time, and 90 days is waaaay too little time.)
I work with a dude who's son is going to do it this summer to raise awareness about access to water. I'm hoping he can crash on my couch one night. I'll post about this again, but if anyone wants to put him up for the night, I'm sure he'd be grateful, as would I.I have a general desire to walk across the States
Whoa, that's amazing! I mean, the marathons carrying water is a huge achievement to begin with, and then this? Hats off to that guy!
