In October, I will have been writing on the internets for ten years. I think I'll probably officially stop at that point; I just don't have the time or thrust to keep up with this stuff, obviously.
It's funny: I write at work all day, and my little hamster brain feels like it's on a Gravitron at the county fair by the day's end. Sometimes I forget to take a book to read during the commute home, and I "write" stories in my head. But they never seem as good when I write them down. Writing things down reawakens the editor in my head, and I stop myself from spitting out sentences as fast as they come to my mind.
This afternoon, JC and I went to Hyde Park to have gelato with Marc and his special ladyfriend Amy. We tried to go to the Japanese gardens, but some students were filming and it was therefore closed to the rest of us taxpaying citizens. On our way back toward the Museum of Science and Industry, we saw a huge family reunion. Four kids peppering the years between six and nine were sitting on a bench. As we passed by, they called us crackers. "Does anybody even say 'cracker' anymore?" JC later mused. "It's a little outdated."
