iFly BOI

May 18, 2013

Slowly the sun inches it's way up behind the clouds. At the west end of the runway planes are departing with regularity. In the distance the line of arriving flights dot the sky like Christmas lights hung from an invisible string.

Entering the circular ramp for the parking garage the sign says there are 6 spaces available on level 2. With time to spare and a small garage the decision to see if one of the six is available comes easily. Exiting the corkscrew ramp there are five stalls to the right blocked off for construction. Darn this is going to be harder than it looked. Maybe those stalls aren't counted. Driving down the center row no spaces appear but a couple is walking towards the terminal with roller bags in tow. Not a good sign. Reaching the end of the row and making a right hand u-turn back towards the terminal the full spaces click by. Every once in a while there's a small car next to a big one providing a moment's hope then dashing it.

Writing at the speed of life

May 17, 2013

A friend and childhood neighbor reminded me today of the importance of just doing it when it comes to writing. There are so many reasons to wait to get the tools and things in place. To get everything just so. I've been collecting things in several places over time but none should be a reason not to make the writing the habit. And so it is time to just do it.
