Do you ever catch yourself looking so much forward to the next day or even the next stage of life that you forget to enjoy the moment you are in? I know I have. When I was a child I remember feeling like the day couldn’t come fast enough when I would be a ‘grown-up.’ I remember 16 being such a far-off, exotic age, but one I couldn’t WAIT to reach, if only because I would be able to drive.

Living in Bristol and not being race fans gives us one nice advantage over most folks. Besides having our little town 3 times as crowded as normal for an entire week and roads that look like a scene from Mad Max (nothing like when *some* folks with a penchant for alcohol and fast cars get together for a big event!), we get to rent our house out twice a year (incidentally to the same nice people who take great care of our house every year)!
