August 31, 2005

A mid-week break is in store for Glenda is today. I'm taking her to the treatment then picking up three friends and driving us all to Boonville. Glenda's weeks monotony will be broken for sure leaving the best that I can hope for is we don't go any broker. Heck, maybe we'll win on this trip.

To break even would require at least $15.26 winnings to pay for the gas to get there and back. Based on the allowance we were offered the car has no wear and tear left so that won't be a consideration. If we should decide to eat somewhere along the way it would complicate the computation somewhat but you only live once as far as we know.

If one would get to come back later I hope you're given you a choice. Right now I'm not sure that I would want to come back. Maybe coming back younger would bring me enough extra energy that the thoughts of doing it all over again wouldn't be so bad. I'm just tired this morning I guess. The prospects of driving to Boonville and the possibility of throwing some money away could be causing part of the problem. I don't know.
