why bother with first?

It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

Coffee with Jessie

I miss coffee with Jessie. Every week, the renewed pledge to "actually get some work done this time." Setting up our laptops facing each other, giant mugs of coffee set carefully to the sides. Then spending four hours ignoring the flashing cursor as we talk about what's out the window, what's in our minds, what's on the radio, what's on our minds, what we are wearing, what's on our minds...

you get the picture. I drive by Dunn Bros. on my way into town every Tuesday morning, and right then, every week, I miss Jessie.
