Time Millionaire-Who Wants To Be One?

16.9 miles of hiking from Bognor Regis to Goring by Sea along the English Coastline. I am a time Millionaire with no future, but what an awesome gift- that's why they call it The Present. You can get anywhere from here as long as you are HERE, which is what there is and all there is. I was an early adaptor, embracing tech and the ipod in all its iterations...and here is an analogy-we spend a lot of time in fast forward worrying about the future, and in rewind cogitating on the past, but we rarely hit *PLAY and live in the present.

Zen Sailor - Maritime Wisdom ⚓ Zen Sailor ⚓ Navigating Life's Waters with Maritime Wisdom "Fear is for folks who don't get out much" "Instant Gratification Takes Too Long.

Top Cruise Destinations - Ocean Navigator ⊕ ๐Ÿงญ Top Cruise Destinations While it's easy to focus on cruising because of its high profile, the fact is cruising is neither the source or cause of the virus or its spread. What is different about the cruise industry is the very stringent reporting requirements applicable to vessels that do not apply to comparable venues on land where the spread of communicable disease is just as prevalent. It would be a false assumption to connect higher frequency and visibility in reporting to a higher frequency of infection. - CLIA Cruisers, talk to each other, and influence each other.
