You wish and you wonder what you’ll remember when it’s pictures.

In California, I appreciated West Virginia. At home, I am restless and ready, again (as always), to leave.

I know the last time I was on a plane was a long time ago because the pictures from the trip feature me wearing a shirt with the logo of a band who shall remain nameless because I am cool now, okay?
I also remember stepping out of the airport in Minnesota, wondering if I was in Minneapolis or St. Paul, wondering why it was so windy, wondering when I would be able to hear again (the answer: in more than just a few days), wondering if I could just hitchhike back, wondering wondering wondering.
I’m getting on another plane tomorrow, to San Francisco, with a layover in either Minneapolis or St. Paul, whichever, and I better be able to hear by Wednesday, because I’m giving a presentation in Big Sur about Big Sur because, uh, college.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten more and more uncomfortable with being in vehicles I’m not piloting. The accidents I’ve been in, though they’ve not been my fault, happened when I was behind the wheel, and if I’m going to get hurt in some machine, I’d like for it to happen that way.
(That was a strange thing to write. Here’s me knocking on wood: I’d like to not get in anymore accidents, no matter who’s driving.)
I have been told more than once that I write with vague purpose.
I have been told recently that I should consider titling my writing.
I have been told that I should consider not using writing as a way to procrastinate.
Huh.

Things I have learned so far while working with fourth and fifth graders:
- Jonathan Kennedy was a president whose head was blown off by a cannonball, possibly in the 1700s.
- There are two kinds of math problems: House of Representative math problems and Senate math problems, and they are very, very different.
- The Lumpy River does not run through the Grand Canyon, but it is nearby.
