Sea Change

Massive layoffs at the technology company I worked for have caused me to be officially “unemployed” for the first time since sneaking out of college.

What do I do now?  I don’t know.

I do know that being forced to take some time off is an invigorating, invitalizing gift.

I couldn’t ask to be in a better city for it, either.  Here’s to the start of my sabbatical.

I’ll tackle some of those to-dos.  Read more Salinger.  Go swimming in the mornings at that pool in the basement of the nearby school.  Remix our first EP.   Buy a bike and ride it.  Take some odd jobs as a movie extra, a messenger or an orderly at a mental institution.

The future is so bright.  I’ll need an extra pair of Wayfarers.
