this is it

I woke up this morning and didn't have to go to work anymore. Simple as that, a million ideas were careening through my head at breakneck speed, for all the projects that I want to start and all the extreme sports I want to try, and all the wines I have to drink and all the music I have to make and all the mountains I have to climb just so I can see what's at the top before I die. But first, I thought, I'd heat up the old arthritic knee and maybe get some breakfast in me. Breakfast turned into lunch, and into dinner, and early to bed, of course, the better to get a jump on the next day's dreams.
