we finally crossed some finish lines this weekend. piano contest is behind us as of 10:45 sunday morning. all colleges and universities have been applied to as of 8:15 saturday night. at 8:00 this morning, steve begins his first full, seven-appointment day of tax season. i intend to wake up, mentally wave three checkered flags at my people, pour a particularly strong cup of english breakfast tea with milk and sugar, and begin figuring out what i want to do with the next two months behind the creative wheel, with a lane all to myself. sunday drive? indy 500? rush hour traffic jam? it doesn’t really matter. i have it to myself. and it’s going to be delicious.
