Timely, relevant and pertinent, Chris. I'm currently doing the one thing I love most, roadtripping alone. The reality that it's getting too hard for me is wrecking me. I can barely walk a few steps and my whole bod goes floppy and numb in any heat. Driving along the PA Turnpike today had me thinking about the wisdom of my adventures.

Naturally, everyone under the sun will tell me to travel with someone along, but that takes away a huge amount of what it is I like to do. I honestly would rather not go than to be at someone's mercy. Selfish? Stubborn? Boorish? I don't care, it's just how I'm wired.

I will admit though, I resisted help just now when checking into my room, no automatic lobby doors and I on my scooter with luggage in tow. I wish people weren't alway in such a hurry, I can do most everything if I just have the time.
