Today, tomorrow and the next day
I just looked up at the calendar on this site and noticed that I’m becoming quite the Tuesday/Thursday blogger. But really I’m a Wednesday guy. It’s one of those figure-ground things. Tuesday and Thursday I’m writing this blog, but Wednesday I’m out living life. Oh, didn’t I tell you? Wednesday I take the day off from work. Tomorrow, for instance, I will wake up and paint a still-life before breakfast (or a nude, if one is available). Breakfast itself can be a bit of an adventure, what with the studio audience and the camera crew (You can catch “Coffee and a Bun with Jack” live on the Food Network at 9am). After breakfast until lunch, I will work on a cure for various diseases (I’m really starting to make progress in my home nanotechnology lab). Lunch is a Power bar while repelling down a thirty story building (That used to get me arrested, but now the police just shake their heads and say, “Oh it's just him”). In the afternoon I will run a triathlon for charity and then one just for me afterwards. Dinner will be brought to the house by a world famous French chef whose son I saved when he needed a blood transfusion and I gave him all the blood in my body (he was a bit of a porker this kid, and it was more blood than I had planned on giving, but what the hell…). In the early evening (after answering all the questions correctly on Jeopardy) I will work on the lyrics for the Steve Miller Band comeback album (this is going to be something big, just you wait). Then I’ll pour myself a single malt Scotch and watch Tivo for three hours – only the shows that I wrote or produced (Law and Order, The Wire, Everybody Loves Raymond, to name a few). Before bed I will tele-tutor some children on the west coast who are having some difficulty with their calculus homework. Finally, I’ll curl up in bed with the blueprints of the solar-powered house I am designing for my retirement property in Taos, New Mexico and fall asleep dreaming about my still unbeaten record-setting Wednesday (a week ago) climb of Mt. McKinley (47 minutes). I’ll be back here on Thursday. Don’t expect much. I’ll be exhausted.
