I am reading this waaay later than the above commenters, but that’s okay; everything in our own (im)perfect timing, right?

I love this post. I love imperfect camping. I have heard the Cameron quote before but it really resonates with me right now as I embark upon my first semester of grad school for my writing–a dream I’ve oft held close like my grandmother’s cards during Sheepshead (“Breast your cards,” she always said)…well I’ve breasted my dreams (that sounds pervy) for 31 years and am ready to be a writer, even if it means doing it badly for a while. I love it enough to do it badly. Wow. Never thought I’d say that and mean it, but it’s true.

With great regret, I just had to call the Old Town School of Folk Music to say I couldn’t use the tickets for tonight’s show in Chicago that I had bought on-line a few weeks ago. It’s my wife’s and my 16th anniversary, but she couldn’t get off work tonight. I did tell the ticket person today, though, to offer the tickets for free to whoever might be able to use them. So, whoever gets seats Main Floor Left Row HH, Seats 12 through 14, I hope you enjoy the show. My wife and I have seen CK many times in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin at the Cafe Carpe, and I saw her in October 2006 in suburban Philadelphia (tried without success to have the host Starbucks shut down their cappucino machine, which was irritating her, by offering $50, but the answer was no, “not for any amount.” Geeeez! We love you, Christine!

I’m adding Imperfect Foreign Language Speaking. Recently returned from France, I realize my French was definitely imperfect but often started a connection with another person. In a few instances they took pity on my un-mastery leading to a complete stranger guiding me through a museum to interpret the signs! I learned that being willing to be imperfect also led to asking for help, improving skills, and learning new things!
