My Nimrod week this year has included much more waiting than usual.  The usual includes waiting for morning coffee and three abundant meals a day.

The usual includes waiting for afternoon conferences and workshops and evening readings.

Some years—including this one—it’s not unusual to wait for the rain to stop.

Because I’ve been technologically impaired this week I’ve spent a lot of time reading and pondering. And I’ve spent a lot more time than usual waiting for the dedicated writing time to be over so I could socialize, or play, or just relax.

But the best wait of all was a couple of hours Thursday morning. I’d heard rumors that a quiet, polite young man who is working in the dining hall this summer can perform computer magic. And he did so for me! He came over after DR cleanup and unlocked my documents!

So now I no longer have to wait to go home, to spend hours in the Apple Store waiting for a seat at the Genius Bar. I no longer have to wait to write!
