That is essentially everything you need to know about the next ten minutes of my life. I was fast asleep attempting to watch The Good Place when I woke and realized that I hadn’t yet blogged. So, here we are.
To start, The Good Place is hard at work attempting to be relevant. I find that the story overall is less interesting than the first season, because the reveal at the end was so stunning and fun that the second season is struggling to live up to it. I also find the idea of eternity quite befuddling, so that is a trip within itself.
Moving on, I did focus a lot on professional football today. Specifically, I focused on my new darlings, The Browns, and my classics, The New York Giants. One lost and the other tied. Yep, the G-men dropped one and looked pretty solid doing it. If not for the ineptitude of the right tackle, I would be talking Super Bowl chances right now. However, I still think they have a chance to be successful. I felt Eli was very good for the most part and the receiving corps was solid as well. That RT problem is a real weakness and teams will scheme to target the dude.
But enough of that. Part of the day was recovery from my eldest’s first real high school sleepover. It was everything my old sleepovers were about and it was totally cool to be on the other side of that wall and watching my kids enjoy that.
In a sense this has become a sprawling download of what went on in my mind over the course of sunday and I feel like it worked. I was able to just type and not think and let the words work themselves out on the page. It is not Shakespeare but it is progress. It has been a long time since writing came from that place of flow and this bit of stuff here really feels that way. It is not the hurried, ‘hold on the words’ of a fleeting idea I need to jot down fast. It is the sink turned on just a little bit so the water trickles out and the writing happens. A lot of it I suppose. The new interface isn’t much for word count, but this sure does feel good.
Some Thoughts:
- Love is important.
- I do not love transition day fatigue.
