The Dead Zone
Well. Friday afternoon. My brain is a dead zone after this rough week. Or maybe it's been a rough two or three weeks. I keep waiting for the dust raised by the beginning of the semester to settle, but this thing or that keeps stirring it up.
This morning I came to campus feeling fairly fresh and energized. I skipped going to the office in the Honors House, opting instead for the seclusion offered by my office in the English building. My thought was that I would be creative today, try to accomplish something. Anything.
But nothing happened. Necessary stuff kept pulling at my attention from the moment I walked in. The office was quiet, as I knew it would be, but I made the foolish mistake of opening the door and signing in to email and answering the telephone. Now it's suddenly 3:00 in the afternoon--Dead Zone Daylight Savings Time.
So, what to do? I think I'll sit and snooze over a novel for an hour or two and then join some colleagues at the Acoustic Coffeehouse for a beer or two. That ought to wrap up Friday in the Dead Zone quite nicely.
My best to you all!

Have one for me!
Hope your brain came back from the dead zone. You may need it this week.
Almost a whole week has passed - has it been better? Are you having another refresher course on relaxation tomorrow? I am with Mark - hope you come back from the "dead zone." Cheers, john
This week has been somewhat better as far as the office goes. I come to Friday afternoon with more of a mind left than a week ago at this time. Of course, with the rumbling and crumbling going on in this wonderful economy of ours I'm not sure if I'd rather be sharper or duller.
