I wonder.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

No, I have not lost my mind.<\/p>\n

Most likely, at the moment you are reading this, I know exactly where I am.<\/p>\n

The difficulty comes because I am not writing it at the moment you are reading it.\u00a0 In fact, in this instance, I am writing it a couple of weeks early.<\/p>\n

The reason for this extraordinary lack of procrastination is that my niece is visiting this week.\u00a0 (Yes, this<\/em> week\u2014the week you are reading this post.)<\/p>\n

The decks have had to be cleared for fun and frolic.<\/p>\n

The thing is, I don’t know whether we will be going to the beach, to St. Augustine, to Fernandina or where?\u00a0 I don’t know if her uncle will have convinced her to zipline over the ‘gators at the Alligator Farm.\u00a0 (I hope not, but there’s no telling.)<\/p>\n

Will we have gone hiking?<\/p>\n

Will we be at the Kingsley Plantation?<\/p>\n

Will we be trying on clothes at the outlet stores?<\/p>\n

Will we be out on the boat spying on manatees and egrets, ospreys and eagles?<\/p>\n

Or will we be lounging on the dock discussing the meaning of life and what she wants to be when she grows up?<\/p>\n

I have no earthly idea.<\/p>\n

I do know, whatever it is, it will be fun.<\/p>\n

She’s a pretty cool kid.<\/p>\n

Past visits have included Cape Canaveral, flea markets and horseback riding.\u00a0 Stuffed piglets and straws.<\/p>\n

She’ll be staying with my mom, but there’s a good chance we get her for a night or two.<\/p>\n

So, at this point, now in the past, I don’t really know where I am today, in the present.\u00a0 (This post is getting as complicated as one of those Star Trek episodes where they run into a rupture in the time-space continuum.)<\/p>\n

So, I’m wondering.<\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll tell you when I find out.\u00a0 Maybe I won’t.<\/p>\n
