I always thought there would be tomorrows but now I am not sure. My visits with my doctor made me realize this so I decided to plan the trip to San Francisco I have wanted to do since the late sixties.
I do not know what my fascination with San Francisco is but I have wanted to go there for forty years. I want to go in style: I will take a “sleeper” on Amtrak with my wife from Chicago to San Francisco next spring.
“The California Zephyr” goes across the United States: I have always loved trains and they are my favorite form of public transportation. I have almost six months to plan out this trip in next April.
I do not want to put off this trip any longer. Who knows what the time will bring? ‘Time is indeed a vapor’ in the words of King Solomon from the Old Testament.

Spring is now four weeks minus one day away. Now it is cold and snow still lingers on the ground. Before we know it the first daffodils and primrose will come up and then the warm weather will start. This cold will be a distant memory. I am looking forward to picking the raspberries on my property and then my blackberries in July. And before we know it autumn will come again and the cycle will start all over again. Time seems to have two cycles at the same time. One turns very slowly and the others speeds all the time. Time is a vapor as the Bible says.
