Oddities

It seems like things get just a little crazier every day. Yesterday my friend in Austin called me and we talked for a while. Mostly about work and movies and stupid stuff. But in the back of my mind I keep thinking that this is the guy who's baby has been in ICU since February, and his family (wife and daughter) have really been struggling for normalcy. He did happen to tell me a *secret* about Sony's upcoming video game release and Comic Con, but I'm not allowed to tell what it is. You probably wouldn't care anyway. Anyway, he invited me to come visit any time I want to, and I feel like I should. Not just because I've really missed them since they moved away, but also to offer support and maybe help them out, even though I'm not sure what kind of help I could offer. So I'm thinking about it, although I'm not sure when I could get away with everything else I've got going on.

My flights are in the process of getting booked as well. Once that gets done, the whole thing is cemented. Yikes. The rest of work feels like it has been crazy, because I'm trying to manage putting together the regular stuff I do plus developing new things for our new office space and with new organizations. Like HBO and the Film Commission. And the University. Netflix. All sorts of things. I guess it's a bit like having a business and starting a new one at the same time. It feels like my brain is trying to go in a hundred directions at once. And then I'm going away so I have to figure out a way to keep things moving without sitting at my desk.

So the last development has to do with the boy. The new one. The one I haven't seen since May, who is supposed to be going to a 'thing' with me on Thursday. He texts me today, one thing leads to another, and the next thing I know, I'm at his house on my 'lunch break' for a mid-afternoon romp. Totally worth it, by the way. We discussed the possibility of making it a regular occurrence, so who knows that is going to happen? I guess he works from home often enough that it could be regular, although afternoon activities tend to leave one a bit sweaty, albeit relaxed and recharged. While I was there today, I also casually mentioned that I'm going to Napa for a wedding if he wanted to join me. He said it sounded good; had to look at his schedule. So maybe, maybe not. Regardless, I got some today instead of lunch (ended up being pretty hungry a few hours later...), and that was good. And like I said before, we'll see how things go from here on out.
