It’s been a Friday.
Pulled into the parking lot, there were only two cars here.
Fired off a flurry of emails in the first hour of work.
Tinkered with a proposal that I couldn’t finish.
Sent out readings for Write On.
Researched places to eat in Rock Island before tomorrow’s Iron
Pen Contest reading. I won. I’ll post more on that later.
Looked at places to stay in Nashville. We’re going to
vacation there in May. We already bought tickets for a Metallica show at Nissan
Stadium. Also plan to see a show at the Opry.
Had a few more emails this afternoon. A request for a proposal
that I don’t quite understand.
The clock is inching closer to five. One more week has gone
by. I should write this blog before I leave. It’s never easy to find the enthusiasm
for this on a Friday evening, and Saturday is going to be busy.
I hit skip past songs and settle on this one. I feel a
little bit in the middle here. This song is that. Either way.
I bought this CD shortly after I got married, not really
knowing Wilco. Whenever I hear songs
from this album, I think about that time. The adjustment of marriage, to
building a new life, to starting a career.
Sometimes I sit here and things seem like they were destined
to turn out as well as they have, but I know that’s not true. It took time and
patience and work and luck.
