Super Lame
Today's prompt:
"Work, home, and _____. Where was your third place this year? Did you like it, love it, ...or was it out of obligation? What feeling, sense, or vibe did you get from your third place? If someone can't imagine the scene, give the lay of the land in words. Is there natural light? Is there a certain smell? Bring us inside."
That's an interesting question, and I'm not quite sure how to answer it. Is this supposed to be a physical place or a metal one? My first reaction was to think about it in terms of mental places, and if I think about what's occupied my time and energy this year, here's the list I would make:
My job + specifically the launch of our new brand
Olive & Clyde
Michael
My family
Trying to figure out my next step
Our attic
But on second glance, the prompt seems to be asking more about physical places. That's tough, because really I spend most of my time at work or at home. When we go places, it's out for dinner or over to my parents' house, or like this weekend, to Cincinnati to visit our friends there. But with the exception of my parents' house, which used to be my house, I don't really spend enough time anywhere to consider it on the same level with work and home. And really I think my parents' house, and the lake, which should also be on that list, are just an extension of "home."
So basically I'm coming around to the idea that I don't like this prompt and don't have much to say. Whomp whomp. Sorry, guys. Super lame.
