Me: I’ve been practicing.
Him: (shrugging)
Haven’t been doing much beyond working although I do find time to hit the gym. My fencing instructor had me work on something call the Contradas (counters). Been a while since I’d done them so I was surprised that I remembered them.
My instructor rarely speaks much, much less give any compliments; know I’ve done something right when he doesn’t say anything. He’s kinda an old, crotchety, silent-type. Then again, don’t do anything for the accolades. Only to be better than I was the day before.
Have all these French and Chinese books around the house. Always figured I’d learn them again but never got around to it.
If I could live for a thousand years, I imagine all the books I’d read. After all, I value the acquisition of knowledge above all else. There never seems to be enough time.
And every time I look up, am always shocked how late it is. In more ways than one.

Me: (opening a jar) I spend a lot of time saying, “I wonder if that’s spoiled?
Her: And then you get sick.
Me: (getting spoon) Hopefully not today.
Got a little sick.
Location: in front of the computer, all day
Mood: rushed
Music: it’s clear I’ll always be the same Until the end of time
