[ "...for awhile..." ]   Been too long since updating the BeansBlog. Work has been crazy busy and that has pushed my time outward and away. You know, sometimes you have to go away, in order to come back. ;) The pictures of Mom's surprise birthday party are posted. That was a terrific weekend! Classic was the surprise though, Dad had picked up Catherine & I from the airport and were in route back to the house. Mom was on the same highway, about a 1 mile ahead, she had left work earlier than expected. In front of Mom was Chris & Jorie! They were just driving into CA from AZ and was about 1 mile ahead of Mom! All three parties driving to the same location with the middle party not knowing! Awesome! I have a couple sets of pictures to roll up from past hikes and bike rides. I'll do those late next week. I'm taking a spontaneous road trip in the next few days. I'll journal the trip with pictures and will blog those. Spontaneous, that word seems almost foreign to me. There was a time in which I was spontaneous with everything. I think my Dad called it, laziness. I think spending so much time at work has caused me to lose track of that. The only thing I was "spontaneous" about was falling asleep, after a long work day, on the couch with my dinner plate in my lab! LOL! I need to get spontaneousness back into my life. Hopefully, this road trip will do it. Now let me tell you about the road trip. We going to drive....[brakes]... wait a second here... talking about the trip before it happens would be planning it and would not be SPONTANEOUS! Oh my! See you in a few days!
