On Vacation

August 13, 2008 at 8:17 AM

I'm getting ready to start the next semester of teaching, but not before two whole weeks of nothing! The dead space on the calendar is absolutely thrilling: No camps. No cooking. No races (due to foot injury). No trips. No gigs. Two weeks of absolutely nothing.

And absolutely no creativity, either. I'm not sure where it went, but it's definitely gone. It's too bad, too, because I scheduled an art show in October, and so far I'm drawing a complete blank.

I asked George where my creativity could be.

"Did you check the trunk?"

"...No, but it looks like I left the headlights on."

Just enjoy other people's creativity, and the break! ;)
