Thin Slicing
Feb. 4th, 2006 06:27 amBeen a while since I divided up the morning into 9-minute segments (e.g., used the snooze alarm), since I listened to the morning traffic report (horrid for a Saturday - or is it always this bad - overturned trucks closing all lanes of the 60, to name but one incident), since I headed Northward to L-poc for the w'end. Used to make it up yonder 'bout once a month or so. Schedules fill up, focus shifts, life happens. Glad to go. I think. This w'end has been a tradition for a long long time ('bout a decade), but I haven't been a part of it for quite a while ('bout half that time). Why? Seismic shifts in social circles...interests wandering off/about...don't rightly know. But my presence was championed and go I shall. 'Sonly for today and part of o'morrow. Contact's good. Hopefully I'm not putting my foot into it. Social dynamics alter when more bodies (and minds) appear. All like me (as far as I know), so hopefully it'll be for the good. Prolly SO, given the clientele - and given that I was asked to join in quite forcefully by a couple of folks (even if not by the hostess herself).
Okay, no worries, no regrets...'til later - and then only if'n based on something real and actual, not imagined or merely potential. Hell, I get to see a few of my fave folks...should be thrilled. Will feel more so when less exhausted. Will prolly get to share driving which'll help matters.
