John Y’s Musings from the Middle: A James Polk Day

Today….was a day. Where nothing happened in my life.

I didn’t work.

I didn’t rest.

I didn’t play.

I worried a little and wasted a lot of time.

I’m not even sad the day is almost over.

I don’t feel guilty.

I just feel …..well, really I don’t feel anything about today.

It was a nondescript inconsequential day.

Today was to the days of my life what James Polk was to the presidency of the United States. A president no one really remembers or ever talks about. He was probably competent enough but mostly just inconsequential in the public memory. Much like today was for me.

A James K Polk day.
