The Lounge Fall LC Thread: Somehow, We Keep Going - Page 11 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

25 years ago i took a lovely young lady on a first date to that part of the coast, including cape perpetua. a few years later we eloped and were married at the overlook by a local justice of the peace with a photographer as our witness. our anniversary was yesterday, hence the trip. was top notch weather the past few days for late october.

If you don’t act on something then you’re correct you don’t have any more time because you made a decision to give it up.
live some years in a place you love compared to living some years in a place you tolerate.
you have a finite number of years to live, the rest is up to you.

everyone should at least travel to all the parts of the country to see where they really fit in.

for me it was the pacific north west. and now florida for part of the winter.

its crazy that people stay in a place they are not happy because of a job or some relative lives there and they have to lose their life to be around them. when they can come visit once in awhile.

when you get older you look back on all the wasted things you did and wish you skipped them for more fun things. that mayube seemed important then but werent in the grand scheme of your life.

Cape Perpetua is a grand place and view. Been there many times. I think an old CCC shelter is there if I remember correctly.

Get busy living - not just existing. Ray and Red are spot on.

I am a reliable dog sitter. Watching Felix this weekend. Felix barks at everything that goes by the house on two legs or four. He also hates Fed Ex and UPS trucks. But I've been walking him a few times a day, down to the beach nearby. He's a good dog who is mostly afraid of people, but he follows me everywhere because I give him treats.

John, you sound like my sort of dog sitter. Mose can now distinguish between UPS, Fed Ex, and Amazon (brown gets all the barks, the other two don't) and we need to limit his walks 'cause he's old, arthritic in the hind end, and has had two knee surgeries over the past several years, but he also loves treats and i'm sure you could become his third best friend with a little attention.
