Dreaming

I think I read the wrong book today. It was about a journalist who was tired of her beat covering Capitol Hill and manages to finagle herself into going off on assignment to another country to cover a revolution. While out there, she falls in love.

How romantic...::sigh::

I know, I know. It's a romance novel. Things like that don't happen for real. Still, the heroine reminds me a lot of myself. She's prone to daydreaming. A lot. So am I. Maybe I'm just lonely. That's it.

Our new editor, Paul Dunn, is in town. He stopped by last night and came in for a little bit today as well. Robb (the publisher) and I seem to be the only ones geninuely excited about him coming. Dale (managing editor) and Kevin (sports editor) are both more standoffish about it. I just think it's wonderful. Paul has a lot of ideas on changing the look of the paper, etc., and I think it NEEDS changing. I suppose this comes with me being young and out of college and full of ideas.

I got my new driver's license today. I proudly changed the weight on it, even though I've been having problems with it lately. Didn't get the chance to go play racquetball like I wanted. Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow. My picture on the license looks pretty good as well.

I did something yesterday that I hadn't done in two years - go to church. I enjoyed it. I went to an Episcipal Church, which was pretty interesting. I enjoy the rituals. I took communion, and they use real wine. Expensive wine too, I was told afterwards. I'm not much of a wine drinker, so when I drank it, I prayed I wouldn't cough or spit it out. I didn't ;-)

So, I guess I better go back to work and dreaming. This Baby Blues cartoon suits my mood right now:



::lies down with Zoe:: C'mon, child, we'll wait and cry together.
