gwendolyngraceOkay, I really, really like coastal towns. Villages. Whatever.
Went up to Salem tonight for the kickoff meeting of the "Creative Economy Association of the North Shore." Arghful journey - it took almost 2 hours to get there from frickin' Cambridge. Nargh. I only allowed just over an hour, and while I didn't really miss much, I didn't get there until after the initial schmooze period and into the spiel had begun. Oh, well.
The interesting part is that I did something new today. Okay, so I'm supposed to carry a tape recorder and tape with me in the car, especially on long trips, right? Because I had this bad habit for a while of writing songs on my way to or from events and I would use my thigh and a pad of paper and try to write while driving.... Um. Yeah.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
grouchyoldcoot and others yell at me for stuff like that.
Well, as I mentioned, I was running late. So I changed my shoes in the car. And while the pair I was wearing were slides...the pair I was changing into were open-toed ankle-straps...with buckles.
Yes, I buckled ankle straps while driving. It's not as bad as it sounds, actually. I was at a merge point, so traffic was inching forward and stopping/starting. I don't think I would have attempted it had I been driving full-speed. I believe I am not that stupid. Much.
Women who put on makeup in their rear-view mirrors have nothing on me.
Anyway...everytime I go up there I really like it. If it just weren't for the whole Wiccan takeover thing. It's almost worth looking to move up there just to prove there are witches who aren't Wiccan. Made some potentially decent contacts, though. Dunno if it will help, but what the heck. Definitely made a couple personal contacts, like the North Shore Music Theatre. Heyetakyma, there's a special event coming up in September with Jerry Herman!
I like water. Big huge amounts of water good. Maybe it comes from growing up near a Great Lake.
