Tales of an unspoken fun,A path so vague; its not bothered,You're on one,And I'm there on the other.When My mother told me about it, I had no clue whatsoever of what it meant. She told me it was a term, just like love. There was no one definition to it. There was never a solitary understanding…

2008 I went to Austin Texas. 2009 I flew in a Cessna to Denton/Fort Worth/Dallas and also little towns where we stopped to fuel up/maintenance the plane.

Dallas was my stopover on the way to Belize City, and I was excited since I'd never been to Dallas aside from DFW airport (which by the way has a beautiful new terminal!).  So, I got in the night before, and checked out the nightlife in Oaklawn which was a lot of fun, and very lively for a wee…
