If This is Wednesday, I must be in Bloomington
The pull of the Bloomington Wednesday Worlds is stronger than even I imagined. Strong enough to reach all the way to Washington, DC and pull this unsuspecting Bloomington satellite back into its orbit. I was there this week for a conference with Big Brothers Big Sisters. I decided to return a day early. So I attended the Awards Gala at the Renaissance on 9th and Connecticut Ave, but set my alarm for 3am this morning, giving me enough time to return in time for WW! After hobnobbing with keynote speakers like Alma Powell (Colin Powell’s wife and Nancy Lieberman (Basketball HOF), senators (Dan Coates), and colleagues, I was ready for bed. I set my alarm for 2:45am. I had driven there on Monday so I knew what lay ahead for me. It’s a 630 mile trip and took about 11 hours.
The Red Bicyclete
I left work late today under a moderate amount of stress. Nothing unusual, just a number of items beginning to stack up. Probably not much different than your day. But it was exacerbated by a prior poor night’s sleep. I woke early in the morning with chest pains. Not the heart attack kind, rather the type of pain due to the consumption of a poorly vintaged pinot noir with one of those memorable labels- The Red Bicyclete. Realizing that I was not dying, I walked around the quiet house checking on the kids. My dog and cat were both asleep on my 10 year old’s bed. The dog thumped its tail a few times when I peeked in through the darkness. I made my way down stairs and slipped into a quiet chair, opened a book and fell back asleep.
