Waiting. That's pretty much all I'm doing right now, which is why inspiration is hard to come by right now. I'm waiting for the team to come pick me up and head out on our whirlwind Around the Lake in 5 days tour. (Oconomowoc tomorrow, Whitewater Tuseday, Oswego, IL Tuesday night (where the hell is Oswego, anyway?) Elkhart, IN Wednesday, Midland, MI Thursday, and some other town in MI on Friday. The name eludes me.) The job is going well, that's all I'll say about it right now.
I'm waiting to hear if we're booked on April 8 yet, and thus whether I can come to Ripon for ActivationFormal on Thursday or Friday.
I'm waiting to see if my tax return is accepted and if I'm seriously only entitled to the paltry ass refund that the great Dictator...er...President's "Tax Cuts" have stuck me with.
I'm waiting to find out if I'll get the job offer I want. Where I'm gonna live and/or work next year. I'll know that one by friday.
That's all I got for now. Just waiting. When something actually happens, I'll have something to talk about. For now, I'm gonna do something I haven't done in a long time. You know what it is.

The old maid's waitin' for leap year to come
The crooner's Just Waitin' to sing
The old cow's standin' by the Bull Durham sign
Just a-Waitin' for the grass to turn green.
The bar-fly's waitin' for an easy mark
'N' the hitch-hiker's waitin' for a ride
The life-termer's waitin' for a prison break
The beachcomber's waitin' for the tide.
Farmer's daughter's waitin' for the salesman
To take her into town
The city slicker's waitin' for the country boy
To lay all his money down.
You know ev'rything comes to a standstill
Nothin' seems to make a turn
Worm must be waitin' for the early bird
I guess the early bird's waitin' for the worm.
Nobody wants to do nothin'
Just Waitin' to get a finger in the pie
Waitin' for a call from a big quiz show
Or hopin' and a-waitin' and for some rich uncle to die.
Katy, she's waitin' at the garden gate
The moonshiner's waitin' at the still
'N' the gambler's still waitin' for that Ace in the hole
I guess Jack's still waitin' for Jill.
Ev'rybody's waitin' for som'thin'
Nothing seems to turn out right
'Cause the night shift's waitin' for mornin'
And the burglar Just Waitin' for night.
The congregation's waitin' for the preacher
Preacher Just Waitin' for the groom
The groom's Just Waitin' for the June bride
And the bride's Just Waitin' for June.
Sunflow'rs waitin' for the sunshine
Violets Just Waitin' for dew
Bees Just Waitin' for honey
And, honey, -- I'm -- Just -- Waitin' -- for -- you.
