Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I am sitting at my desk being totally unproductive. If I am not going to work, why can’t I take a walk, fold laundry, putter around… anything but sit in front of the computer? I guess it stops me from feeling too guilty. As if proximity to work somehow equals productivity. My business consultant said I need to keep an eye on myself as if I were a paid employee. “Judge your actions as if you were a person you hired.. if you wouldn’t want them doing what you are doing, STOP DOING IT!” I guess that means I gotta get back to work.

The last week and a half has been a challenge for me. I keep thinking of my dad and choking up. In fact, I said to my mom, “I just realized I have spent almost two months either crying or on the verge of crying.”

Tomorrow is the start of Reunion Weekend. Yeah, it’s my 15 year college reunion. I am kinda excited. My problem is the girls I hung out with and loved were not in my class. My class was populated with girls that didn’t take too well to my kind. (My kind? Y’know, the non-drinking, non-partying, studious, wounded kind) Truthfully, I didn’t take to them. At any rate, my love for Rosemont (WOMEN’S) College (pre-2010) is well known and I look forward to going back even if I will be spending it with girls I wasn’t close to back then.

I have so much I could be doing and all I want to do is think of my dad and Buddy Holly. I am also imagining my new office furniture. I can hardly wait!

    I think I mentioned this awhile back, but in case I didn’t:
    about 6 years ago I was on a job-hunting foray which took me to, of all places, Lubbock, Texas (about 350 miles
    west of where I live). You probably know little to nothing about Lubbock…it has Texas Tech University, where John Denver was enrolled in architecture before dropping out and taking his chances in L.A (things turned out pretty well for him, I’d say)….but especially noteworthy is its Buddy Holly Museum, which I visited and researched for about an hour. What I recall vividly is seeing the guitar that Holly played on the Ed Sullivan Show, and a video of Paul McCartney lavishing praise on his musical hero from Lubbock, Texas.

    Mac Davis is also from Lubbock, but Lubbock didn’t always treat him like a prodigal son, considering he once sang (mainly in jest) that “happiness was Lubbock, Texas in my rear view mirror”. But all Elvis fans hold Mac Davis in high esteem for writing “Memories” and for penning this ginormous Elvis hit:

    Mac Davis also wrote “A Little Less Conversation” which found popularity only recently.

    I’ve never been to Lubbock but perhaps one day I will get to explore that museum. I didn’t know Mac Davis was from Lubbock but I absolutely knew it was Buddy’s home.

    Buddy Holly was an early love of mine.

    Mac Davis was very good in “North Dallas Forty” playing a thinly veiled version of Don Meredith. He was also good in “Cheaper To Keep Her”, which is rarely seen anymore because his performance and the movie’s content is so politically incorrect.

    I know it’s hard to think of valid reasons to visit Lubbock, but the Buddy Holly Museum might be sufficient reason.
    In Lubbock there are streets named for both Buddy Holly and Mac Davis. (A few years ago Lubbock had the distinction of being the largest city in America that didn’t allow sales of alcoholic beverages….indicative of the conservative nature of West Texans).

    I saw Mac Davis on Broadway– he was playing Will Rogers in The Will Rogers Follies. Marla Maples guest starred as well. She wasn’t Mrs Trump or Ex-Mrs Trump at the time. It was right around their scandal when she was simply his mistress.
