Farm Town Longing

Continual ability to manifest motivation: challenge number one. Maybe if I stopped reading William S. Borroughs, I'd have a little bit more get-up-and-go. Right.

Sing in me, anti-Borroughs muse.

Today I met a new neighbor and consistent editor for lunch. After much talk of numbers and distribution, I asked him if being a super-awesome food publication editor was his dream job.

"No," he said. "My dream job isn't in writing at all."

"What would you do, then, if you could do anything?" I asked.

"Build furniture," he answered. "In a barn. On a farm."

Just like this one, I bet.

Even people who have my dream job have their own dream jobs. Funny, isn't it...
