Not that we don’t love them. I think three obstacles stand in our way: Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:23:00 +0000 http://www.batesvilleheraldtribune.com/columns/local_story_155092357.html http://www.batesvilleheraldtribune.com/columns/local_story_155092357.html Over a year ago, before we even turned the big 4-0, four of my college friends and I were planning a weekend trip to celebrate this birthday milestone. After discussing various options, we decided upon French Lick for our girlfriends’ getaway.

Her name is Esmerelda.I named her.

It should be ready at first light, so slipping into a comfortable bed for restful sleep is logical.

For instance, I began liking the Beatles’ music after they broke up.

I look at my younger family members and realize we could learn a lot from watching and listening to them and how they see life through a child’s eyes.

I dated four documents in this New Year and only put 2007 on the first three – one more than last year.
