Big Bend

One of my Christmas gifts from last month is supposed to be tickets to fly to Texas and visit family and friends.  Today I got a phone call from C, my youngest, about the visit.  They wanted to know if I would be interested in hanging with them and a group of people, aged 20-30 ish, that are anarchists.  What entered my mind?  Protesting, like maybe the migrant detention camps.  But no, this is camping at Big Bend National Park.   So I try to get more information about the plan.  The response is that they are anarchists and don't really have much of a plan yet.  So I'm probably going to be hanging with some unorganized people next month that are half my age and camping in Texas.  I am not an anarchist.  Big Bend looks AMAZING though. 

Today was spent at my friends house weaving and planning for the upcoming event.  It was good.  We didn't take a walk today though.  In hindsight, I should have made a point of walking.  I need to get into better shape for Big Bend.  We were productive sitting and weaving and planning, though.  There were productive phone calls and chats for the upcoming event too.  Will I get out and exercise tomorrow is the question for myself.

My happy for today is the possibility of camping with my youngest and their partner, E.  It is hard living so far apart.  This will be a great way to catch up with C and get to know E better. 
I'm also really grateful for friends who are willing to help me jump-start the car.  Tomorrow I need to buy a battery too.
