    My work constantly gives me a very high stress level, I go to sleep worrying about work and I wake up worrying about work. I'm sure that will take its toll eventually

    Central Utah, baby!!
    I have no plans for long longevity. In fact I'm kind of surprised I've made it this far. Mostly because I'm a klutz and do inherently dangerous things and have lived in some dangerous places.

    My mom is still traveling around the world and she'll be 80 in November. She is slowing down tho' and it ticks her off greatly. Other than her, my family tree is not a shining example of living a really long time. My real father died more than 10 years ago and all of my grandparents died a long, long time ago.

    My goal right now is to live long enough to be moved out to Utah and get settled in. Know that if I get run over by a semi on one of these last trips, I'll go down extraordinarily annoyed. I've logged nearly 12,000 miles between there and back so far and have avoided death and dismemberment (knocking on wood) so maybe I'll make it.

    Then I can fall off a cliff, get eaten by mountain lion, bit by a rattlesnake or whatever. As long as it's in Utah. :D
