(not necessarily in that order)
After morning coffee on the patio and a delicious Mexican lunch, we headed downtown and I indulged my tourist tendencies!
I was a little surprised at how much there was to see and how intriguing I found it all.
I particularly loved the City Hall. In fact, I think the dramatic setting would make handling bureaucracy that much easier.
Because I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately, I struggled more than usual to prepare for our department’s annual presentation. It got so bad that I actually reverted to behavior from my college days of several decades ago.
In other words, I waited until the very last minute, then — once the pressure had built to unbearable levels — I frantically pulled out all the stops, accomplishing in about 24 hours that which would have been better (and certainly more calmly) done in three to five days.
The only element lacking was a trip to the university library to check out a huge stack of books!
I’ve got one to add to the list!
“Remember a favorite book from elementary school and fantasize about being able to go back to the (now demolished) library where you can still remember the approximate area where it was shelved, in order to check it out yet again.”
True story! I must have been in sixth grade when I read that book and I still remember how much I loved it and how much I laughed while reading it. If I could remember the title (or the author) I would search for it on Google so I could read it again!
