Yesterday I told Mark that I’d come up with a BIG IDEA for our upcoming trip.
“Guess what we’re gonna do as we travel around?”
His reply….
“Rip everyone a new a**hole.”
Yea, really? You really think that’s what my big idea is? No, we’re NOT ripping anyone a new anything!!
My big idea is to Gump-icize our trip. That’s right. We’re gonna make like Forrest Gump! Forrest Gump met life head-on with an open mind and an open heart. And he had all these outrageously incredible experiences.
And so that’s my plan…to be sure that, as we travel around these next few months, that we embrace all the amazing people, places, and opportunities that we happen upon. Oh yea, and my plan also includes kicking somebody’s ass at table tennis, just like the Gumpster.
It’s gonna be a wild ride!! GAME ON!!!!
“Always be able to look back and say, at least I didn’t lead no humdrum life.” FG
Have a great trip 🙂
I was just looking up FG quotes too! There’s a ton of good ones. A couple of them almost made me cry too. I love that movie!
Haven’t seen it for ages – need to get the DVD.
Caliente Springs in Palm Springs has a ping pong table. It’s where himself and I decided we must buy a house big enough to put one. We made up rules, shrieked with laughter and made all the oldies poke their heads in the door to see what the h*** was going on. Better still . . . they have a hot spring fed lagoon pool. (Join Passport America and you can stay half price for a week.) Oh my. Now I want to go back.
Hi whichwaynow101….Your description of your ping pong experience is EXACTLY what it’s like when we play. So much laughter and yelling (not at each other, just yelling funny things out loud). It’s a totally gleeful sport!!! You need to buy a table!!
It is our life’s desire. Truly! 😀
Mark keeps saying we should tow a trailer behind our moho, just to carry the table with us. haha!! Well, I hope you get a nice table some day. Or, even just a cheap table. All the same amount of FUN!
Is there a Betty Ford clinic for ping pong addicts? lol!
Funny! If not, there should be!
