The note almost made me cry, which is a
funny thing considering I wrote it to myself.
Friday I was working on stuff to air
today; specifically, the music log for all the songs we'll play
throughout the day. As you may recall, I had been working quite
ahead, and with everything going on I haven't recalled half the stuff
've done. Apparently, one of the things I did when working on this
particular log, back at the beginning of March, was to leave myself a
little note.
That note said “have a great trip”.
Because today, you see, is the last day before I was supposed to
leave on our little trip to Germany.
I have no idea why March me wrote a
note to April me, but he did. I mean, it was nice of him, but I
think one of the things it goes to show is just how much the world
has changed since the note was left on March 9th. Back
them, the world (or at least me) was confident enough to think that
our trip would still be taking place. I know at the time the
Bundesliga had cancelled matches for March, and at the time Europe
wasn't open for visitors. But back on March 9th I still
had hope that things would be back to “normal” by today.
Goes to show what I know.
So instead of speeding through today
with all the last minute work associated before flying off it'll just
be another day of coming into an empty studio and doing everything
that needs to get done in this new “normal”. I have no idea if
or when we'll get to go back to Germany; heck, we're starting to
assume that our jaunt to France in September isn't going to happen.
And maybe that's why the note—from me, to me—struck such a chord.
Back then, I thought today would be a
big day. Sad to say, I was wrong.
But that's okay. I'm still healthy.
Everyone I care about is still healthy. I still have a job. I have
a (hopefully warm) summer to look forward to. And, with any luck, I
still have a lot of future travel plans to which to look forward.
Even if tomorrow I go to work instead
of Germany.
