Nothing

Posted September 29th, 2009

I was IMing with my friend Kevin last week.

"Got to go," he wrote, "have to prep for the meetings."

This was most unlike him. He's usually prepared well in advance. He explained that he'd spent the day before helping a neighbor pack to move and then had gone to play golf.

I thought about that a bit.

I wrote, "I should take more time to exercise and to meet up with friends during the day."

He asked, "What's stopping you?"

"Nothing," I answered.

"That gets in my way a lot too," he replied.
