Today my chronological age falls over the hill as I turn 40 years young.
Do I feel different? Nope. Do I feel reflective? I feel like I owe it to other people to be reflective, but I'm not so much. I am more looking forward to what the future brings, because as I type this there's a gaping hole in my working future. My job at the bank isn't guaranteed and I may not even want it, of course I'd jump on it if offered a job.
So I created this blog over 5 months ago and I've been dragging my feet. Of course I wanted it to be full of wisdom and cutting insight, but that hasn't really happened a lot. I am buried in literature and I've had no time to do anything other than work, homework, and play with Patty and Alejandro.
I've been reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I've known for a long time that I would love Steinbeck, but for whatever reason, we weren't ready for each other. Now I am and I'm truly enjoying the novel. When class is done I'll take up the Grapes of Wrath. Similar to Steinbeck, I think I'll take up Dickens in the upcoming decade.
This morning I listened to the "Austin Incident" by Doug Stanhope - loved it.
Patty and my co-workers tried to have a surprise luncheon for me and it was a surprise because I didn't know about it, but methinks I really need to focus on my being "excited."
Okay, I'm ending the first post now. It isn't what I wanted, but that's life, right?
I hope to see you soon.
Your friend,
E
