2013 plan FL to PNW


Anything, maybe everything, starts with an idea.  In thinking this, i find new respect for tho'ts.  I swear off ever again saying, "it's just a tho't."  And tho'ts often do lead to words.  To saying something.  So this respect seems to include words too.  
If an idea is actually going to manifest, going to become real, then perhaps not far behind the words a plan pops up.  Y'gotta start somewhere.  So, here goes.  It's a start.  Who knows how close we will come to the plan?  To the idea where it started.  But what could be more magic than something coming into being?
