Marfa Munchies: Episode 2, Sunday - Face-Up

beat_scene: outdoor_road, travel anchor: Mindy The not-doing of a thing finally costs more than the doing. Mindy Carpenter packs quickly, in the Dallas apartment. The bag is by the door. She's been holding the phone face-down for two weeks. This morning she holds it face-up. The thing on it is not dramatic from the outside - a name, a place, a conversation she's been not-having for eight months. She drives toward it instead of away. Forty minutes. No radio. The city, indifferent the way only cities can be. Not resolved today. She knows that. But she is voyaging now, which is different from sitting still, and sitting still has run its course. Featured: Mindy Carpenter, creative director. The Marfa Munchies is a daily fiction podcast about a food, beverage, and lifestyle division of a creative agency between Marfa and Dallas.
