      (The actor enters, OK, it's me again, because this is another story ripped from the headlines of my life!)

44  years ago I had already done my first big trip - 30 days with a Greyhound pass - all over the country

I knew I was never going to forget it - not one minute of those 30 days.  I promised myself as I left the bus 
station that first day......

But something happened to that promise - I do recall the highlights - but the rest, the 
looking out the window at hours of cactus - is blurry.

Not bad, just more like an old photo that is turning brown with age.....fading, but not gone

Today I leave to visit my son in another state.

My first vacation in 4 years

My first plane flight in 11 years

My first time visiting my son in his new home.
His first home on his own

And I will never forget one minute of this trip.  I promise.

       (I am not exiting, but am enjoying the visit!)
