Just a thought on the subject of journaling or, as it would have been described back in the 60's, a diary. Would our guys from UNCLE ever record their daily thoughts? Certainly they can't write down their activities unless they're certain no one will see it. Letters to home? I'm wondering about it, and came up with this. Now, the question is, whose thoughts are these?

Every once in a while I like to take a risk and enjoy an unguarded moment or two. Most of my life has been spent following the rules and being a poster boy for Most Likely To Confound The Enemy.

All right, perhaps I didn’t always follow the rules. But, in my defense, I get results even when my tactics seem a little… um… unorthodox.

I’d like to think I’ve taught my partner a thing or two about taking the road less traveled when it comes to winning our particular war on crime. He’s from a more, shall we say, regimented code of conduct. Although, come to think of it, he’s done some pretty flashy moves on occasion. I guess I’m a good influence at the end of the day.

Back to that unguarded moment to which I referred earlier.

Today is a brilliant fall spectacle of color and cool temperatures that make a guy want to beg off of work and just enjoy the scenery. There’s a convertible in the motor pool that would be perfect for a drive up north; a pretty girl would be nice riding next to me. I think there might be one or two who would come along without too much begging on my part.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like without all of the running and chasing; the bad guys and the violence that comes from enforcing the rules. I regret that when I allow myself to think about it.

So… I won’t think about any of that today.

Better to take that drive.
