While vacationing in Seattle, I reconnected with a dear friend from college. She’s newly single mom, a working professional woman. She’s on several boards, an activist crafting the future of her community. And I muse, what happened to my intellectual life? Wasn’t I supposed to have lofty goals?
Instead, my biggest concerns are: who buys Ugg boots for a two year old? Why do people create parking spaces for themselves in the school parking lot when there are plenty of spaces available? How come I can’t send p. b. and j. on a field trip, but can pack it on a regular school day?
Is it the kids? My lack of paid employment? Ohio? Something has atrophied my brain.
