Saturday

But I'm scared to death of flying. Can't swim. Boats are out because the sea also terrifies me. Was on a fishing boat once off New Jersey and the damn engine kept cutting out and we drifted almost into international waters with waves high as a mountain coming at us. The other passengers were all fishing and everyone but me got seasick. NEVER AGAIN!

I'll just have to dream and fantasize.
