pre-trip insomnia

i’ll be on a cross-country plane trip in a few hours, and didn’t get as much sleep as I’d hoped, as in I wish I coulda slept right up to when I had to get up to leave, which was the ungodly hour of 4am to catch a 7am flight out of BWI, b/c the shuttle service is probably using me as the starting point, and will make a few more stops (up to 7) along the way en route.. where I’ll be is the city [formerly?] known as the epicenter of postmodernism, namely, Seattle.. now that the streams of change have flowed all over and then some, maybe some would argue the epicenter is now Kansas City. 🙂 you might ask what’ll I be doing out there? it’s categorically a business trip, some networking with other people who work in foundations, 1 of my 2 jobs; and as an added bonus, to visit with a good friend too.. looking forward to many combustible conversations and dialogue..
