Too many historic battlefields to explore. Too many names of trees, plant, and animals to learn. Too many trails to hike. Too many lovely days to enjoy. In a nutshell, the world is so overflowing with interesting things for us to do, that perhaps it's unwise to pass them up in favor of spending our irreplaceable leisure time attaining, maintaining, and upgrading a home.
Life is just too short.
And before it's too late, I might add.
