“Are you wearing your
costume to Comic Con this year?” Asks
the man at the cleaners.
“We are having a mural
artist from Comic Con come to speak to us,” says friend Camille. “He’s the one
who did all the murals behind the fossils at the museum.”
“What are you doing for
the 4th,” asks a lifeguard.
“Another friend talks to
me while we jog in the water. “What are
you doing today.”
I love conversations like
these. They make me feel busy and useful
and part of the community in a different way.
“Today, I’m talking to my friend Bobbie then grocery shopping. This afternoon, I will be working on an essay
about sail training ships.”
“How do you spell that?”
Asks another water walker.
“S-A-I-L,” I reply
laughing.
No, I’m not wearing my
steampunk clothes. Or, maybe I am, but I
have two weeks to think about it. The
murals…I’ll have to go see them. Yes, we
meet the Captain and her sister for Breakfast this Friday before I go to
work. Yes too, we are going down to the
Maritime Museum for a BBQ and the fireworks.
Yes, Comic Con is two weekends away.
I have all my paperwork done and I am ready to go.
Imagine…all this and today
we are gifted with sunshine too.
You are writing about something important. Wish I was smart like that!
ReplyDeleteand it actually rained today!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo! It's so dramatic with that stunning background mural. I think they're having a Comic Con here in Hawaii too. I don't know when though.
ReplyDeleteNursing my sore tore here. Doctor Monty is the same age as my son. When did doctors get so young?
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a plan. At the moment I seem to be going with a relentless flow.
