Chapter 57.8: Monday Monday

I strive to remain upbeat. After a beautiful weekend that ended with a drop in temperatures and predictions of snow, I enter the week with much to do and a sense of foreboding. Tonight, I'll attend an event created by my alma mater -- bringing "media professionals" like myself together with students. I'm looking forward to it, but I don't really know what to expect. And the things that I didn't get to finish this weekend remain stacked on my agenda like books beside my bed, waiting to be read. It's Monday, and many miles to go before I sleep.
