holiday (kind of)

austin is deserted.

i have my pick of seats at coffeeshops. no traffic to be found on local roads. i just read in the newspaper that more people are expected to be traveling this weekend than any other, except for maybe thanksgiving.

my friends have dispersed to monterrey, mexico, the rio grande valley, and kansas. and i am left holding the fort down. (ok, it's more of a duplex than a fort!).

i had to stay because i need to work on my conclusion. last chapter. i caught myself saying several times, "oh i just have the conclusion left to write," as if it would be a breeze. a breeze would be welcome on a hundred degree texas day like today.

conclusions are difficult because they have to balance both summary and significance of all that you've just been through.

here's to a clean ending.
