Going to Europe for a long weekend is GNARLY when you're 40!

I think after 23 years it’s finally dawned on me that going all the way to Europe and back just for an event on the weekend is kind of gnarly. People say “oh where are you going for work?” And when I reply “Germany for the weekend”, they’re baffled that I would go through all that travel time for a short trip. Well let me tell ya…I’m starting to understand what they’re talking about. When I was 23 traveling to Europe with Mason we’d eat 2 or 3 Tylenol PM’s and be zonked from take off to landing. I remember one time putting our community jar of PM’s in the seat back pocket, passing out, and waking up to the guy across the aisle telling us he saw our bottle of PM’s and helped himself to them 😂😂 hilarious! However…now, at 40, I usually just sit in the seat with back pain for a solid 7 hours of the 10 hour flight! Maybe I’ll splurge on business class and then all up by the end of the weekend I’ll come home with a net profit of $17…worth it. Off season grind has been ok, few shows here and there to keep the bills paid, things are good. Family’s good, everyone’s healthy and happy, and somehow I’m still managing to live life on my own terms and make a living on two wheels. Chase your dreams, folks! It’s worth it 🙂
