Finally, back at the lake
I finally got back to the shores of the lake.
Three days away from the phone, the newspapers, and the Internet. Even though I killed the battery in the car. Even though Saturday's rain sent me home early. I sat and looked at the lake. I laid in the hammock and looked at the lake. I walked out on the dock at midnight and looked at the stars.
So why is it that I had more time to get to Polk County when I worked for someone else than I do when I work for myself?
