not as exciting To balance out what was for me an almost hyper level of activity on Monday, I spent all of today inside just relaxing and reading. Somehow being away all day yesterday left me a little disoriented and I wanted things to be a little more calm. I'm not saying that I didn't have fun yesterday. No, I truly believe that getting out of Milwaukee if just for a day was something that I needed. I just had to readjust myself to something a little less active. It may not have come across yesterday, but I really appreciated the time that I spent with Trish. First of all it was nice to be able to talk with someone about things that weren't work related. Our jobs were mentioned part of the time, but it wasn't the focus of the day. We could and did talk about things that meant something to me. I wish that I could explain it better, but I have so few people around me that talk like I do or have interests that coincide with mine. Just hearing her comment on what we saw in the Art Institute was so refreshing from the usual conversations that I have in my daily life. What I mean is that I would be hard pressed to find someone at work who could name a high percentage of the paintings that we saw while we were there. Somehow the technical crowd loses sight of the humanities in their education. Oh, I know that there are exceptions, but that isn't the rule. Being with her for the day was the most emotional contact that I have had in a long time and it felt good.
