False Deadlines and Other Bugaboos…
Hi. Innovation Group is moving Waking Up the Ghost to a new Google based “Platform” this week. Right before I go to Flint, Michigan to see my mother after five years of estrangement. My mother does not have WIFI. The Hi. people are wonderful, and I hope all will be seamless, but let’s face it – there are always unintended side effects where technology is concerned**.
I set the dates for these activities, by the way, and now they are written in unforgiving stone.
I’d like to have a big, fat cold tumbler of cheap Chardonnay right about now. And a cigarette. And I’ve never been a smoker.
If I lose you for a day I am sorry***. Think of me running to the only Internet Café in Flint, barking into the phone and trying to figure out how to navigate WordPress, while my mother is waiting by the door with her purse in the crook of her arm, because I PROMISED I’d take her to fucking Frankenmuth for fried chicken at noon.
**Lauren says all side effects are unintended. We have debated this subject ad nauseam.
