\u201cWould you like to go to Bocas del Toro in March? Let\u2019s stay a month. Get out of winter.\u00a0 I know a great little place on the water.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t even know you!\u201d you said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou would after a month in Bocas.\u201d I say this with a smile, but it\u2019s pretty much true.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut you don\u2019t even know me!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI would after a month in Bocas.\u201d I was being flippant, I admit it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s just insane.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI prefer crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can use either word,\u201d you say. \u201cThey\u2019re synonyms.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I meant, I prefer crazy. Prefer it over the ordinary, or the conventional, or the really truly rational. I\u2019d rather not spend the last of my days being too rational.”<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you say \u2018last of your days?\u2019 Are you sick?”<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. Just crazy. And that\u2019s not a synonym for sick.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo why are these the last of your days?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEach today is the last of your days. By definition.\u201d I say this with a smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat isn\u2019t how that\u2019s supposed to be used.\u201d You’re getting frustrated.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s how I prefer to live.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if you don\u2019t like me?\u201d you ask. I don’t blame you for being a little nervous.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I didn\u2019t, I wouldn’t suggest we go to Bocas together.”<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if I don\u2019t like you?\u201d you asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess you go home. Or go to Belize. No, that\u2019s not a good idea, I may go to Belize after Bocas, and if you don\u2019t like me, there might not be room for both of us. It\u2019a a small country.\u00a0So how about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow about what?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBocas del Toro. Or Belize. Thailand? Bali? Fiji? I\u2019ll pay for airfare and the hotels. We\u2019ll split meals unless we fall in love.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens then?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat would be a really great way to spend the last of our todays, no matter how many we have left.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I think about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, but don\u2019t take too long.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I don\u2019t want to spend the last of my days waiting. That would be insane, and I\u2019m not crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
