You Must Be This Tall

So…it’s Friday. My last Friday as a ‘married’ man. I use air quotes because I haven’t felt like a married man in quite some time. But that’s neither here nor there. Monday will be the last day married.

Let’s try that again..

So…rolling in to this weekend I feel very much like I’m in line for the Roller Coaster. This is one bad-ass roller coaster. It kinda has me terrified and excited all at once. I rode a similar ride about 14 years ago, but for some reason that one seemed less….daunting.

I have friends who have been on this roller coaster. They assure me that I’ll wind up just fine. I have other friends who have never been on this ride, can’t fathom it , or have been thinking about getting a ticket to this ride themselves. Their assurances are equally positive, but less certain.

The time has arrived. When I leave work today I will officially be on the ride. I expect this ride to last all weekend and go through on in to Monday morning when I will finally be off of this ride and free to explore other attractions in the park.

I know there are going to be ups. I know there are going to be downs. And curves and loop the loops. What I don’t know is how I’m going to actually process all of that this weekend as I’m going through it. I don’t expect a complete meltdown by any means, but I know it’s going to be a bit rough.

And that’s ok.

It’s just a ride.

It seems real, but as Bill Hicks reminds us…it’s just a ride.

Best to just grab hold and enjoy it at this point.

 

Peace out,

-A.T.
