Closing Time

"Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world"

I've always really liked the song "Closing Time" by Semisonic.  It's been called an ode to bar closing...but to me it was always about college graduation.  I can count on one hand the times I've been out to a bar.  And on no hands the times I've stayed until bar closing.  But I did graduate from college.  Apparently the themes are similar.

"Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here"

Changes, and possibilities, and the unknown, and looking back, and looking froward.  

These are the things this song makes me think of.

"Closing time

Time for you to go out to the places you will be from"

So it was an awesome, almost goosebump raising moment this morning as I pulled into the Target parking lot to tell them I was quitting...and "Closing Time" came on the radio.

I know....how cool is that?

"Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end"

And with that, another chapter in the stay-at-home-dad (who doesn't stay home anymore) story is over. The plan was to stay at Target through the school year back in 2008 and it turned into 5+ years.

I'm not sure bank teller is the destination, but it is the next leg of the journey.
