I Wrote to Brenda

I wrote an email to Brenda today, mostly just letting her know that I will be in Chicago for a work thing over the weekend, but that I will be back Sunday afternoon. I also mentioned that I still love her and that I hope it still matters.

That was more than five hours ago. Brenda has not responded. I am not surprised, but I am disappointed. Brenda's job as a research assistant at the university does not keep her chained to a computer like mine does and she almost never checks her email.

I think I saw her riding her bike toward downtown this morning. But it was earlier than she is usually awake. And she wouldn't normally be taking that route. And I'm probably obsessed right now.

So I'm going to leave work and go work on my novel. Then I'll go home and do laundry. Then I will sleep. Then I will fly to Chicago in a plane as I am not capable of flying without benefit of an airline ticket.

(The photograph is one I took last year. It is Exit Glacier near Seward, AK. It has nothing to do with anything.)

Thanks for playing.
