I was just thinking today about the dilemma which a lot of creative professionals find themselves in. They want to HAVE CREATED, but right now they’re not interested in CREATING. And then “right now” extends through day after day after day. As I was pondering I realized that this likely extends to other fields, to vocations, avocations, and pure recreations alike.

I couldn’t hear him, because my window was still up, and there were about a million automobile engines idling, revving, roaring, and/or seizing up within earshot. I smiled, mouthed “THANK YOU” and gave him a thumbs up.

Yeah, this pretty much made my day. I think it’s the first time I’ve been noticed on the road by a complete stranger.
