my corner of nowhere particular
Recently I wanted to try and get more awake hours every day. I was train my body to survive on less and less sleep so that I could get extra guitar practice in. After a week of this, I was not particularly happy.
I called my mom who promptly informed me that I was a complete idiot.
My Mom and Dad go to theater shows somewhat regularly at the Northshore Music Theater. After productions I have vivid memories of seeing my Mom dancing and singing through the parking lot as we worked our way to the car. As a kid, I think I was embarrassed. But now it’s easy to see she’s just happy and carefree.
My mom works out like crazy. Every morning she’s on her treadmill doing her exercises. She’s got arm movements and does Curves circuits. Even though she hates it (“time for my stupid exercise”), her discipline is amazing.
Great job mom!
As I mentioned earlier, my mom is the librarian at the High School. She called me up just the other day to tell me a story of an interaction she had with a student. Apparently the kids needed to come up with a sound track for Lord of the Flies. My mother, to the dropped jaws of the students recommended they the check lyrics of songs by Rage Against the Machine.
