A Post Card from The Zone
Room With a View: November 20, 2008
Hello all!
I just wanted to drop you a line from this place called “the zone”. The zone is kind of a cool place, as long as you don’t think about the outside world. I do want to thank my blog friends at Today.com. I am not so far out there that I don’t check in on you from time to time. I am sure you will blog me out of the zone if something earth shattering happens—like Turkey Tetrazzini for Thanksgiving Dinner at the Alaska Governor’s Mansion there in Wasilla…
The zone is different from real life; and only lasts two-three weeks two times a year. It is a place where you do not know day from night or even what day of the week it is—you simply know what you have to tackle next. You set the alarm so you remember to eat, you make yourself go outside at least once a day, and your friends know better than to call you on the phone. They know when it is over we will meet and eat and laugh till we gag– about something.
In the meantime, it is just me and the work… and yes, I will tell you all about the work when it is done. In the meantime, maybe I can drop a hint or two… So to all my fellow “zoners” hang in and to everyone else: Have a terrific weekend!
