Whack

Edy and I are “whack”.

At 11am this morning we were in a movie theater watching Sherlock Holmes.

Why ?   Because we CAN !!  The 24plex is a block away and we can see movies whenever we want and by golly we do too. I could not bring myself to order a Medium Combo for breakfast but enjoyed the flick. We love our neighborhood.

We then scooted out beyond “the reservation” for lunch at our new favorite deli and noshed on Latkes, Hash and Smoked fish until we were busting. With our new found energy we felt  the urge to shop a bit and braved a couple of stores with successes in each.  By then we were exhausted and headed back to the ranch to “chill” a bit.

Perhaps decades of hamster wheels and children have caught up with us. Or, perhaps we’re just lazy, Frankly the why doesn’t really matter. When I used to travel for a living I would take any and all opportunities to nap for a minute or two on flights and while on layover.  Experience had taught me that to NOT snooze meant I’d lose at every corner when the unforeseen issues of a project or the next destination would come up.  All nighters were standard issue for years and my sleep deficit will last well past when I’m dead (so as to make death also quite efficient) .

These past several months have had their intensity and their lulls as our new projects come together. It's been a new experience to ride the wave instead of riding the rails. This current lull during the Holiday Season is an indicator that the “timing is perfect” for NEW things to come together right after the 1^st of the year. We’ll be ready.

So for now we rest and enjoy the light of the candle that remains 2011. We give thanks for all the blessings received and for those yet to come.  We’ll use those last flickers of next week to start a new one for 2012 and get ready for the ride of our lives, all over again.
Yep, we’re whack !
