Doable, yes.

This is a brain-drain.


Some Leah-centric observations:

I recently suggested to a receptive someone that 'Bourbon Trail' would be a good name for a racehorse. I'm not sure whether I support horse racing, or whether that's even worth thinking about. I've never been to that particular stretch of Kentucky highway.

Where I live, blocks from Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, the summer sky is to the west is frequently worthy of gazing at around 6:30pm. I stop (myself or my bike) and watch it nearly every day for minutes. That's not long enough.

Designing covers for great books is now on my list of future work possibilities.

This week, my dad suggested I sign up with a local Mensa chapter so that I might have like-minded people with whom I might discuss any number of subjects. [Thanks, dad.]

I have a day off tomorrow, and thinking of large gobs of free time gets me inspired and intimidated. If you're like me, you're more taskable when you have more tasks. With fewer, you might end up drinking iced tea and reading a good book for hours, or just answering emails you've put off for weeks. Your list, big or small, sprawls out to fill whatever amount of time you have.

In any case, here are a few of the activities I've been wanting to do. [Until now, these have been collecting, quiet and unheeded, at my mind's nebular perimeter]:
- Buy fabric, cut and sew a skirt to rival other A-lines in comfort and kitsch.
- Write the first chapter of an intriguing surreal novel.
- Create a recipe for vegan avocado cake.
- Experiment with bean sprouting
- Find a way to sit on a very high skyscraper construction beam.
- Purchase a larger bed.
- Finish one of the three books stacked on my nightstand. [The Old Man and the Sea, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, Kitchen Confidential]
- Investigate digital SLRs. It's time.
- Give away another round of unnecessary stuff. The age of paring continues.

Yes, a good list makes things more doable.


Happy weekend!
