Razzin' frazzin' Marlins...do you think they could just accept that they were down 3-0 in the 8th to what is truly becoming America's Team, and just say, "y'all deserve it...go on"? HELL no! So here we are, on our way to game seven tomorrow night, and I probably won't even see it, as Matt and I have tickets to see a sneak preview of "Sylvia". Matt's a big fan of Ms. Plath, so he's really intrigued by how they handle adapting her life for the big screen. I had planned on packing tomorrow night, but the opportunity to take Matt to see something he's really passionate about overrides that easily. Besides, I'm hoping I can take Thursday off to relax before the trip, although a half day will suffice.One more comment on the Cubs...what WAS that kid in left field thinking by trying to catch the ball as a player's glove was hurtling toward him? I wouldn't want to hurt him (security escorted him out), but MAN...sometimes you just wonder what goes through someone's head!
Sorry for the short entry earlier. As I attempt to get ready for this vacation, it seems like everything that can go wrong to slow me down has done so. Computer problems, requests for info, phone calls, missing shipments and tempermental copy machines were the main culprits today, but I just trudge along.
Matt and I had dinner with Malcolm and Cedric this evening, and it went relatively well. My contact with Cedric has been minimal recently, with our opposite travel schedules, but I can't say that it concerns me. Life has been relatively drama-free without him around, so I tend to make my own assumptions. A part of me feels bad that I've basically written him off as a close friend, but the other part of me that's cheering says "good riddance". My empathetic side is always struggling with my protective side. I'd like to think that I find a balance, but sometimes I wonder.
Less than 48 hours until we're in Indianapolis. It's going to be great to get away for four days of sightseeing and some (hopefully) quality time. I know we'll be seeing a lot of family and friends of his, but I'm thinking there will be some quality alone time, too. Hopefully, the highlight will be the night we're staying in a state park lodge.
I'd say my mind is wandering, but it seems to know EXACTLY where it's going. And a grin creeps across my face...
