Water, water somewhere around here...
...and all the boards did shrink.
So here I am in world-famous Meridian, MS, at my third store opening. Not sure what feelings to express regarding this; I only mention it as a point of reference.
And yet it means more than that. It's an abrupt and quite serious change from the routines that I've come to take for granted. No wife, no kids, no immediate money flowing in (although in about two weeks, the check I receive for all this will do much to compensate for the lost right-now money). Time to think, to feel.
An added joy: Some of my fellow trainers do this all the time, so they've phat money, which translates into neat toys. Example: Laptop computers, like the one I'm typing on right now. Nifty! Wow, what an accumulation of emails... from total strangers. My friends have faded into their own lifes, as have I.
I miss my friends.
Another benefit of having a co-trainer's laptop offered for my use: YouTube.com. It's been nearly a year since I've experienced Mike Doughty's "Looking At the World From the Bottom of a Well" video"... the studioesque one where he's lying flat on his back near some park. That's 'way too long. That video... Man, it explains a lot of my shit. Nice to not be lonely, even if my "company" is some total stranger who just makes good video.
