catching up

too long since I posted last

Highlights

In June I turned 35. I might have posted about this already. 35 is old – ancient even. My dad’s always 35 in my head, yaknow. I feel old and as thought I’ve wasted my youth. Not sure how to remedy this feeling.

In August – I went back to Indiana for Starhawk’s wedding. Wedding was good, seeing Starhawk and various other Indiana people was good.

Being in Indiana in August – meh. Hot and Humid. The friend I was going to crash with turns out to be living in the 5 block area that’s the car-jacking hotspot of Indianapolis. So I crashed at a La Quinta the whiole week I was back.

In retrospect, a week in Indiana was about 4 days too long. Could have done everything I wanted to do in 3 days.

On the plus side – got a lot of writing done. On the down side, I spent most of my nights in Steak-n-Shake looking like the workaholic middle-aged guy with a laptop you always see in Starbucks.

One the down side, one of better friends in Indiana is full-blown alcoholic these days and hanging out with him is an exercise in unpaid babysitting. I wound up making lots of excuses to leave early. Except for actually hanging out with Starhawk and going to the wedding – it wasn’t much fun.

Started a new job in September. More money, less stress, less responsibility. Frankly – I don’t have enough to do at work. On the plus side – I’m getting a lot of writing done. On the down side, I feel guilty about it.

More to come later…
