Blog entry: from the car.
Let’s see how this works out. I’ve never dictated a blog entry using Siri while I was driving, but there’s a first time for everything.
This is actually kind of cool, except for when my phone thinks that I’m done because I pause too long.
Anyway, I wanted to talk about feeling kind of meh today, since it doesn’t happen very often anymore. (Sidenote: it seems that if I don’t use Siri, and instead I just use the microphone, it works pretty well with my Shatner-esque pauses.)
As I was checking my email on the john this morning, I learned that some friends of ours are moving 40 minutes away. They currently live about 5 to 10 minutes from our house. So, that was kind of a bummer for me, although I am super glad for them. It sounds like they’re super excited to move out to the country.
It’s kind of funny, though, because their idea of the perfect place to live is the exact opposite of what we were looking for when we wanted a house. What we wanted was something close to the highway, so we could get places quickly. What they wanted was no neighbors.
Then, when I went to drive my son to school this morning, I saw that it was spitting rain or snow or something in between. I was displeased.
So, I guess I can actually pointed to a couple of good reason why I have that familiar old feeling today. It happens. I’ll get over it.
Edit to add: Also, people who drive 15 mph through downtown infuriate me. Not what I needed.
