I mean 2022, of course. I have big plans for 2022. How about you? I no longer make resolutions. But I do have plans. Keep exercising on the Peloton when I cannot get out on the road with my bicycle.Go wine tasting more often.Clean out the garage and donate more stuff to charity.Get my mountain bike tuned up.Replace the canopy on the gazebo covering our bbq.Spend more time with dear friends. Expect a call for lunch!Follow through on all my travel plans for 2022.Volunteer.Win the lotto.Watch everything I DVRd on the TV.
Everyone has some issues with the new way of life. But it has helped us in other ways, right? We have focused inward, toward our own personal growth, improved discovery of new hobbies and books, and home improvement projects.For myself, I have done more reading, and rekindled my interest in maps, wine, and music. What about you?What did I in 2021?Mostly importantly, I stayed healthy. I am vaccinated and got my booster, wear
a mask indoors, and stay away from parties and large groups.I made it to Europe safely, twice, as well as Washington, DC, Chicago, San Diego, Scottsdale, Napa, and the Central Coast. Our little mini Labradoodle Lexi has even more spoiled, and totally in charge of this household.I watched part of Jeeeacks Bucklet List movie last night. It got me thinking about life and death. I have always preferred to call my future travel list by a better name, The Water Pail List, since bucket sounds so final. It also reminded me of the Water Pails that I in 2021. Here are just the highlights: Greece (Athens and Santorini) twice (I now have three Greek brothers)Mallorca (you know the story behind it)Revisits to Germany (Rudesheim, Munich, Frankfurt) and Poland (Warsaw)Cherry blossoms in Washington, DCvan Gogh Immersive, Banksy, and Kahlo in ChicagoRaviniaStarted Peloton cyclingRed Cross shelter supervisor trainingAnother safe trip around the sun Plans for 2022:Cycling in CroatiaAttend the French Open (tennis)Visit my brothers in AthensSee a few new countriesReturn to Hawaii and SeattleView the cherry blossoms in DCAttend the Oktoberfest in MunichCycle across the Bay BridgeLearn a new skill or languageWork a few days to keep
the skills fresh (maybe) But the thought that prevailed, throughout the movie and now, is why wait? Whether it is travel, a favorite music concert, a visit to a winery or museum. Do it now!!!
