We had to get up a bit earlier today. So we could… I’m not really sure why. We went to Denny’s for Kyle and Anne to get something to eat, then we got Sharye and went into town. Indianapolis, that is. We wandered around the mall for a bit, where Sarah and I ended up in a bookstore. Imagine that.
There’s this great chocolate place where we all met and had chocolate fondue. Yum. It was pretty amazing. Then we all went back to the bookstore. Sarah and I had some stimulating conversation, and I bought a new book (as I will be finishing this one soon.) Right now I’m reading a book by a woman who was an English colonist who grew up in war-torn Africa. It’s called “Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight.” Very good.
We saw U23D in the IMAX. Very fun. Anne asked if it was dating her when she said she saw them 23 years ago. We learned lots about how it works and whatnot. Then we headed to a great little Italian places called Buca de Beppo. Yum yum! So much food, though! Then we went back to the chocolate place and
bought 6-layer cake, which has yet to be eaten.
I’m noticing it’s quite odd how my body (or mind) is responding to so much time off. I’m not enjoying it in the least. It’s like if I can’t go-go-go, everything shuts down and I only want to sleep. I’m bored. I don’t remember the last time I had this much time off with nothing to do (paid, volunteer, or other). No car. The same 4 or 5 people every day. I like them, but we’re out of things to talk about, especially when we’re not doing shows. I love touring, but I must say, the hardest times have been the breaks.
