Find your quiet place

Between the t.v., the computer, the phone and beeping of the washer and dryer I just can't think clearly. I need some time, some space, to think.

In Boston, I used to use my roommate's pass to the New England Aquarium and sit up at the top of the Giant Ocean Tank and watch the fish and the sea turtles until it got too crowded. Then I holed up in one of the cubbies surrounding the spiraling staircase that winds around the tank.



There isn't an Aquarium nearby, so I have yet to really find a place to do some good thinking.

I thoroughly enjoy thinking in bed, but that's because I spend 15 minutes thinking and the other hour and 45 minutes napping. (Not that there's anything wrong with it.)

So today, I will find a place (ideally a warm place) so that I can sit and think.
I'm hoping they'll have muffins.

Let me think about a thinking place for you...Hmmm.

That aquarium sounds ideal; too bad we don't have something like that.

I'll get back to you!

It's tough to find a quiet place these days ... Tryon Creek State Park's not too bad once you get off the main trails, though.

stephanie: Still thinking? C'mon! Help a lady out!

ed: Tryon is lovely but it's way too far for me to visit on a regular basis.

Oh god I went to the NEA w/ Squidge this summer. It was PURE HELL!! Too crowded and potty training. I needed a drink afterward but then had to drive to the airport during RUSH HOUR. Sadly the NEA is now a tainted memory for me.

lindy: Oh no! Did they do anything about the stench from the penguins? That was always a bit unpleasant.
