A Moment in Time

I don’t know about anyone else but I always have a point in the future fixed in my mind. Not things far off like retirement but something just around the corner - the next thing. It could be big or small. It could be something common like Thanksgiving or personal like a deadline at work.

My most recent point in time came Tuesday morning November 16, 2010 at 9:55 AM. That is the point I had fixed in my mind to call my boss from my first Architecture job out of college. I had called two weeks before looking for work and he had been on vacation. He had gotten back to the office on Monday and I was going to see if he had a position for me.

As the clock ticked ever closer to 9:55 I got everything in place for the call. Grayson was sleeping. The bag was packed for our errands that were going to follow the call. Mackenzie was placed in front of the television and sternly told daddy had to make a very important call.

I made the call. He wasn’t in. The moment passed. My brain reset to the next instant in time. He would be in the Dallas office Friday. I had my next point - Friday November 19, 2010 at 9:55 AM.

I don’t know what the point of this blog is. I just think it is interesting that I think like this and wonder if anyone else does.
