Caves!

34 Visit a real cave/cavern
Completed: October 14, 2006

The boy and I went down to Carlsbad, New Mexico and went through the caverns. This is somewhere I've always wanted to go, and he decided to arrange a weekend getaway. We drove around, stayed down there, and went to Slaughter Cavern the next day, complete with our own flashlights and hiking shoes to get up to the cavern. It was incredible. It was awesome. It was everything I'd hoped it would be.

Grins.

#1 - Pay it forward

1 - Pay for someone's toll behind me
Completed: October 18, 2006

In need of good karma, I did this today. I drove the Florida Turnpike all the way down to Miami, and somewhere around West Palm Beach area, I was at one of the $1 a car set rate toll and I told the toll guy that I wanted to pay for the car behind me. He thought I was kind of nuts but took my money. I watched through the rearview as the black SUV tried to give the guy money, and he had to explain that the white Malibu had paid for his toll.

I just hope they pay it forward. I know that it felt good for me to do it... but I do have that hope that maybe that made their day. Maybe they shed a random act of kindness onto someone else. I'll never know, but I can hope.
