Point of View

Good Evening

This is my idea of a good way to spend the evening, I said to the only other pathetic old man to visit my third place. It’s New Year’s Eve in Phoenix and I have no parties to attend, no large mass of crowds pushing their way down the city square to deal with. It’s just me and my thoughts, away from the craziness that will no doubt accompany the night as 2008 rolls across the country to hover over Phoenix for another year.
I have never been a huge fan of large gatherings or rowdy people. This is not to say I don’t enjoy mingling with society, as long as it’s from a safe distance. I have read that most writers are best left with their thoughts in solitary refuse and if that’s the case, I believe I fit the profile, and yes, this is my idea of a good way to spend the evening.

Happy New Year
