I picked a heck of a week to start trying to write. There is nothing going on here. I did start working on the story, but I feel weird writing it. I think I'm trying to get too much back story while simultaneously trying to introduce characters as well. Of course, a real short story will probably be several pages and it would be silly to post such a thing here in pieces. I guess I'll keep putzin' away at it in a Word document.
Meanwhile.
Today in my longing for home I came down with an intense craving for relish and onion on top of a ballpark hotdog. A baseball game along with it was also part of the craving. So strange. And that is the order of the craving. First it was relish, then that made me think of onions with it on top of a dog. Then of course baseball. Rachel then mentioned a bagel dog, the cream cheese and grilled onion topped polish dog in a big warm bun. You get those after the game at the stand on 1st Avenue. Hoo doggie.
It's my friend's birthday today. He is the other person from the physics department at the UW who came with Rachel and I on this exchange program. He's a lot like me when it comes to birthdays. We don't really want a big hubbub. We just want to bond with close friends doing something we all enjoy. Since I moved to Seattle, my thing has been going out to a brewery with a small group and hanging out. He's coming to my place now and we're going to have a beer. Cheers!
