Sunday Stealing

Bold the Ones You've Done

Have you ever ...

1. Slept under the stars


2. Played in a band


3. Visited Hawaii 


4. Visited Easter Island 

5. Watched a meteor shower


6. Seen the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace


7. Been to Disneyland or Disney World 


8. Climbed a mountain 



I love this view. Every spring I hiked from my hotel (The Arlington, the big building at an angle, center right) up the Ouchita Mountain and then to the top of the Hot Springs Mountain Tower (on the left). I haven't done this in more than 20 years and I'm quite sure my knees can no longer handle it. I know there's an elevator to the top of the Tower, which I callously once thought only wimps used. I wonder if I could take a Lyft or Uber to the Tower. I have no plans to go. It just makes me sad to think maybe I'll never see this again.
