Through the Stacks: A true story
..sorry, I wanted to make the subject line sound provoking.........but no, it's really just about me wandering around in the public library this afternoon, checking out too many books for one man to read. The point is this, I found myself actually making a goal for myself. I figured, if I checked out a bunch of books about places I want to go, than I would be more apt to get a job, save money, so I can get there. So here is my shocking revelation! I want to be living or at least have travelled to either......Iceland or Scandanavia.....by this time next year.........ta da.......i'm sure you're gushing with admiration of my lofty goals. Perhaps you are thinking......
"..But Andy.........what ever shall you do for a living whilst living in a foreign land?"
"..I don't know........maybe i'll fish...."
The last time I went fishing was with Adam and Nathan at a little lake somewhere in the country by Emporia. I didn't do so hot. But I did catch a fish, and it was in the 100's. The time before that all we had for bait was pig testicles, and it was very windy. That was in Nebraska with the cousins. I don't remember catching anything that blustery day.
"Andy, that doesn't sound like a good fishing resume....are you sure that's a good career path in a strange land?"
"No, I am not sure....maybe I'll deliver the fish via bicycle or something. Or maybe I could work in a bookstore. I've done that. It couldn't be any worse than Barnes and Suck. Plus, after a little research I learned Iceland has 100% litteracy rate. This means that bookstores are more heavily frequented, hence the possibility of more jobs in that area...."
"I don't know Andy, I think you may be better suited here in the States.."
"You're probably right, but my goodness, we've got to try something!"
....end dialogue.
