Quotes

I just realized I completely neglected to do any quotes as of late. Shame on me.

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel from coast to coast without seeing anything

- Charles Kuralt (1934 - 1997)

I feel this is an important observation in lieu of my impending move to Iowa. When The Boy and I drove down there last November, we didn't see anything. Not even farm animals. Once we got out of Wisconsin, it was just flat plains and a few hills. Bo-ring. And we didn't even take the Interstate all the way across. It was mostly just due to the fact that Iowa is the most boring state in the union. And the whole state smells like a cow's ass. (Unfortunately, I know exactly what that smells like, having visited many dairy farms as a child.)

Also, last night I got this feeling like a giant weight had been lifted off of my chest. Its hard to describe. Its just that feeling you get after you haven't been able to write a thing for a month, and suddenly your mind is full of conversations and plot and character. Not only that, I have this really intense inspiration to paint. Odd, since I'm not really much of a painter, but hey, I'm gonna go with it. Why not?
