Well, I started at 2:30, and it took me until 4:30, but I finally got my email inbox down to zero messages. It’s just beautiful.
I have this recurring fantasy about shutting down my email address, canceling my cell phone, going off the grid and off the grind completely for, like, a month. Maybe go down to Mexico, sit on the patio of some crumbling hacienda with an Underwood typewriter and a bottle of Corralejo Anejo, fall asleep to the sound of the waves hitting the coast and wake to the sound of children laughing in the streets, writing, all the time, writing, with no distractions, just letting the crisp staccato of the keys wash over me until …
Hang on, I just got another email.
HEY
Thanks.
