The View from 58-inches High

Well here we go with my update of the week.  I shouldn’t make fun since once a week is better than I’ve been able to maintain in over two years. I always have aspirations of updating this as quickly as life actually happens. I think that if I did it often enough it wouldn’t feel so daunting to catch up with everything I missed in one post.  Ultimately, I’ve given this site to nobody so if you are reading this you’re probably not very good at using search engines. Sorry about that.

So the big news is that I somehow talked my way into a trip to see the Tour of Dubai with a girl I hardly know. F1 Friday was the end of a horrific week and I wanted to feel a little crazy. The plan was to have drinks with a few friends but the ones I knew well bailed and I was left with Kim. I don’t know Kim well but I really like her so it was fun to hang out. Really long story short, 3-drinks (and many “we should totally do that!”’s) later we decided we were going to Dubai to see the brand new tour of Dubai. It’s one of those things where you wake up in the morning and think “there’s no way she was serious.” Two days later, I got a text asking for details. It really looks like we may be doing this and it’s a little crazy.

Now, it’s not that I don’t want to go. I’ve been thinking about this trip for a long time. I also know my life needs a little crazy in it but I tend to do much better when my crazy is spontaneous and not planned 3-months in advance.  Also, I’m not the best with people and I’m more than a little nervous that Kim and I might grate on each other mid-trip.

We’ll see where this leads, if anywhere. For all I know this will be the only time this is ever mentioned in this whole blog (though I doubt it)
