"Only I wasn't steering anything, not even myself. I just bumped from my hotel to work and to parties and from parties to my hotel and back to work like a numb trolleybus. ... I felt
very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

"On the surface, it sounds irresponsible, but to flourish in a rapidly changing world, you actually need to make more mistakes. Fail quickly. Fail often. If you do something and it
doesn't work, just recover in a hurry and try something else. ... Help develop a culture that is willing to fail its way to the future."
-- Price Pritchett, Culture Shift |

"There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction -- every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and that excitement at about a million miles an hour."
-- Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar |

As many of you are aware, my folks and I came to Houston on Saturday to see my sisters and nephew, and in a couple of days, we'll be going up to Austin to see my cousin Tyler graduate high school. Oh, how the time flies... he was at my high school graduation, even though he was only two at the time, so I couldn't very well miss his.
Internet access has been spotty, of course, since I've been on the road, but I intend to keep my 30 Days promise alive and well. Short entries count, and given my limited access, it's a good thing.
I will have pics and videos and stories very soon. Thanks to my gracious sisters and cousins for sharing their internet access with an addict the entire week we're down here. I should have just melted my computer down into a spoon and shot it up.
