instead
Okay, instead of posting something momentus, I'll just post something. Today I was walking by the park near my house. I'd just finished talking to my dad. He sounded happy, which may be because he's started the Atkins diet and has lost ten pounds. I was thinking about parents, and then what it must be like to be a parent, and what it's like to be a daughter. I really don't talk to my parents a whole lot. Not as much as I could. Do they want to talk to me more? It seems like everyone's too busy for that. And I moved away. Was that a bad decision? What if someday I have a family? Won't I want my mother to see her grandchildren?

And my thoughts spiraled out from there, until I heard a soft music somewhere, like it was coming from the trees. Except when it became clearer, I realized it was the bagpipes. And some man was marching out in the middle of a field playing the bagpipes. How does my life get so surreal sometimes.

I was at a wedding this fall in which a man playing the bagpipes came up the aisle as soon as the ceremony ended. I couldn't really figure out why that guy was there, at the time. It was almost a little funny. A random guy in a kilt, with a funny-looking instrument belting out that swelling melody. But today it made a little more sense. There's a lot of life in music like that.

As my first post in more than a week, I bet you're expecting something momentus. Something momentus soon will come. But first, to keep you occupied: A huge selection of travelogues on biking South America. To get your mind off winter.
