downward dog.

Ahhhhhh, stretch those creaky bones. Wetzler is waking up from his slumber. He’s thinking about where to go for Spring Break. Last night he ALMOST bought a ticket to Mexico City. He was about to go to bed when he remembered that he still didn’t have a ticket for Spring Break and he thought to himself, “Better now than never.” He went out to the couch in his boxers, turned on his computer, and was about to buy the ticket when his roommate lumbered into the room.

“Dude, you’ve been to Mexico City like five times. Go somewhere else.”

And then Wetzler was back at square one. You see, usually Wetzler knows exactly where he wants to go. Via Google Image Search or hearing the name of a place that sounds interesting he investigates a place he’s never been before. Then, if the place is right, he becomes obsessed. He reads reviews, investigates flights, looks at weather, looks at pictures. Soon, the thought of going anywhere else seems preposterous. He must go to this new place. He must see it for himself. The process starts with a seed of interest and then if the place is right blooms into a full-grown three-foot-leafed tiger lily.

This happened last night with Wetzler. The seed was planted, and today the flower began to bloom. He is close to buying his ticket. He just needs to wait a little longer for the flower to bloom and then he will buy it. Almost there! Could be this evening, or later tonight. Hopefully it happens soon before all the cheap flights are taken.

Wetzler is going to the Virgin Islands.
