I’m here in California working and, when I get the opportunity, enjoying the city. This morning, I awoke early to chat with Keith Stubbs, radio personality with 101.5 The Eagle, and talk about last night’s Dancing With The Stars performance. But, that’s not what I want to write about.
Since I was up so early, I was able to enjoy a little peace and serenity before the city began its rush hour cacophonous symphony. The contrast between the hours of 6 am to 7 am was astounding. Within minutes of the clock striking seven, a whole host of noises echoed in the streets.
Car alarms reverberated between the various levels of the parking structure across the street. Hotel hops blasted their whistles in an effort to hail a taxi for waiting suits. Bus brakes squealed in agony as the drivers positioned their vehicles precariously close to the curb as awaiting pedestrians jockeyed for position in an effort to be on time to work.
If it had been any other day, I might have begged for another hour of sleep. But, today was different. Today, I realized the excitement life has to offer; so long as you get out there and do something.
With that said, I got to thinking about my next blog for Mormon Times. Don’t get me wrong, I love Provo. But, for those who may haven’t gotten out of The Bubble to experience new surroundings… Well, I’m not going to give my article away. Watch for it next Monday.
