fallls mainly on the plain
I spent two hours in my car today, going from Wallingford to the U-Village and back. This may seem ridiculous, but I made the mistake of going just as the football game was getting out. I sat in my car with the music on and watched the rain roll down the windows. I didn’t mind the traffic and I didn’t care about the delay as long as I got to be in the middle of that rain. It reminded me of other important rains, just like the first few of the fall always do. It made me ready for the next one.
I took a quick look back, and discovered that I posted this a year ago today. I have never gotten as close to a cast as I did to that one, and the idea that I’ve only known them for a year is kind of amazing to me. Makes me wonder what crazy theatrical foibles the next year has in store. Year after year, my high school friends and I have talked about how fall is really when the new year begins. Shed all the old, start in on the new.
(Bring it on.)
Except, of course, for that lovely span of time every fall where I am sick as a freaking dog. Sorry, Jet - I would’ve loved to be your “good time girl” this weekend. (The mind is willing, but the body is weary. All that.)
Um. Upon further reflection, that sounds REALLY BAD, but at least you know what I actually meant. ;)
bahumfuckeroo! BAH!! BAH !! HUMFUCKEROO!!
a~ i have seen the ex. and it’s true what they say about time healing old (or is it all?) wounds. ~lkd
yikes. That means I’ve been reading this for over a year. Stage Door seems like only, well, not a year ago.
And we have yet to have that coffee.
LKD - I know the feeling. I’m getting there too.
Snake! Snake! It’s a snaaaaaaake!
The snake frightens me!
I definitely know what you mean about the year truly starting in the Fall. This is my favorite time of year. “Bonfire weather” as I call it, and it seems like this, more than any other time of year, is when I renew and refresh my life. Sure, back in the day, it was because of school, but even after school most of the big changes in my life seem to happen around this time. It’s also the most relaxing time. Everything about it is just… ideal.
