I took my dog for a walk today and was nearly asphyxiated by a malevolent cloud of gnats. For those of you who don’t know, gnat season in
The air is stagnating and heavy, it knocks you down and sits on you like that fat kid used to in 2nd grade. It’s so humid that the tiny little gnat wings stick to any exposed skin. The whole thing is really pretty disgusting and made 10 times worse when you roll through fast and sweaty on a bike. Not that this is a problem for me since we don't have trails anymore. It's an hour and a half drive in any direction to hit dirt.. ahem, i mean sand.
So “Click” is the sound of me pulling the trigger on a major life change. I walked into my
bosses office the other day and hander her my resignation. She said she wanted me to
stay but she understood that I had to go.
Now I'm off to Bellingham Washington. I've don't have a job yet or a place to stay. I have
a couple of acquaintances in the area but no real friends... you could say I'm a little nervous.
But I'm also excited and that's why I'm doing it. My life has felt like a dream for the last
year or two. Never good never bad just sort of dull and drifting. Mentally I have been on
power saver mode. I haven't been excited about anything in a long time and I need to
recapture that feeling.
An old college English professor told me once that "saying it makes it so". I think that
means that order to bring an idea into reality you've got to make a declaration of it. It
makes you accountable, makes it real. I think it has something to do with the whole Schroediner's Cat/observer thing from physics. All these possibilities exist with an idea
and it only becomes a reality once it is observed or in a less scientific way, shared by
multiple people.
So I'm saying it here for anyone to read. I'm leaving Florida and this site is going to be my account of the trip. Driving across country is the biggest road trip I've ever taken. I'm unprepared but that's the way I like it
