Distractions

1. My growling stomach
2. People in the windows of the Driskill Hotel across the street
3. Recollection of the old lady who called back to me, "Make it great!" as she exited the elevator this morning
4. Making lists
5. Chitchat in the hallway
6. The sun
7. The fact that I can see (and hear) SXSW happening right outside
