So, tomorrow we go to lake Anna. I am stoked. It is not a business venture, but certainly planning for it has taken some work. Many players involved, calls made, reservations put in - my role - the food.
I spent $200 at Sam's Club today. 17lbs of ribeye, yielding 13 x 1.5" steaks, 36 nathan's hotdogs, 3lbs of bacon, 36 eggs, 20 brats, 10lbs of hamburger, 36 hamburger buns, 36 hot dog buns, 2 bags of Tostitos scoops, among other things.
Though the planning phase and the execution of great food takes effort, the results and the eventual eating of said feast keeps it in perspective. I've packed all the fresh food from Sam's in two coolers in the back of my car on ice. I will collect all the dry goods and prepare for shipment tomorrow right before we leave. I have an excel spreadsheet to help me keep track of things - I am not ashamed. For me, the food comes first. Suffice it to say, that I will stray from my better eating habits this weekend.
Today I heard about a college dropout who became a U.S. Senator and was briefly in the running for President a couple of decades ago.
Hope springs eternal as part of the nature of our over optimism. I have traded my constant joy seeking behavior for the pursuit of happiness through knowledge of myself. No longer am I fear driven all the time, though it does creep in. False optimism and delusions of grandeur have given way to genuine hope and grounded confidence.
Truly, there can be no end to a suffering you can not place.
I am grateful.
Takeaway of the day: Burger seasoning is awesome and goes on everything, from eggs to fish.
