“And I thought they said to grab the bull by the horns…”

Bleh…

Yesterday, I started feeling a dull pain in my chest. This lasted for four hours and kept getting more and more intense. So, I consulted my insurance provider’s health handbook. Basically, the handbook said “call the hospital.”

So, I called the hospital advice line at about 8:00 at night.

“You’d better get somebody to drive you in here. If you can’t, call 911.”

It’s been three years since the “free world” as we know it has been rocked, the sanctity of our freedom ruined by twenty terrorists in four commercial airlines hitting American soil. With a lot of talk of national security, the usage (or non-usage) of September 11 as a political podium, and the military aftermath - and whether we did what we really should have - there are still the memories of those that witnessed it firsthand, walking down the Manhattan streets on an otherwise beautiful Tuesday morning, commuters on the Loop in Washington, just heading to work, or visiting the nation’s capital for the first time.

So where is the next chapter of “No Such Thing As Tomorrow,” you ask?

And well you may ask.

I have the whole story plotted out in my head, but finding the patience to sit down and write it is a little more than I’ve been able to do in the last month or two. Indeed, I find that I write better in short little spurts - which is why E/N writing has been such a perfect match for me.

This is not to say that I’m not going to finish it - or rather continue it - just that the entries are clearly not going to be weekly as I originally intended. You may have figured this out already.

So, anyhow, this entry is an apology for being late with the goods. Look for the next chapter soon. I dare not say how long lest I make myself a liar.

Also, “Garden State” is quite good and worth a look. That sentence was included so this entry could have some content.

“And he finally achieved his lifelong goal of outdoing the kid that shot milk out his nose.”
