I’m away again.
After this past weekend, I’m actually slightly glad to be somewhere else.

And running into old ghosts.
Him: So, are you a partner somewhere yet?
Me: Not so much. (pause) I’m writing, actually.
Him: Oh. That’s…cool. Are you and that girl married now?
Me: Well, she’s married. Not to me though. Kid any day now.
Him: Oh! (pause) Are you happy at least?
Me: (thinking) I’m happy in my head.
Location: 20 feet from the middle of nowhere
Mood: busy
Music: Who? I really wanna know Who are you?
