Too much
The other night, I swung by Mullen's for Jessica's birthday party and then over to John and Margaret's garage party. It was a Saturday night, in Wrigleyville, after a Cubs night game.I felt overwhelmed.
Too crowded.
Too loud.
Too bright.
At some point in my life, I would have revelled in the cachophony. Sucked it in. Fed on it. Thrived on the honks, shouts, bumps and drunken vitality of it all.
And now, all I wanted was to haul ass out of Wrigleyville and retreat to my tiny bedroom.
It made me feel old.
