… to find out where you really are. First… sorry, no pics. Mainly because I’m not at my computer… not at home… or in the state for that matter. Perhaps in a later post I’ll be able to (figure out how to) post a few of my own. For the moment you’ll just have to make do with this… that I borrowed from the net.
Ann Arbor is nice… quaint is more to the point… in a New Englandish sort of way. From the little I’ve seen so far, on a short drive yesterday… pretty countryside, great old barns, brick houses (lots of em around these parts)… nice. I was in the city tonight for dinner. Main Street (yes, it’s actually called that) sort of reminds me of a slightly bigger version of “Bedford Falls” in “It’s A Wonderful Live”. Ok, if “Bedford Falls” was merged with Telagraph Avenue in Berkley and yuppified… that would be this city. Though there is a charm about the place that convinces me that I actually could run into George Bailey – who still has the savings and loans but also teaches a class in “applied small town finance” at the local college… which just happens to be Michigan University. Yeah, the game on Saturday was quite the todo around these here parts.
What am I doing here? Well, the short version is that I’m on a video shoot. (Yeah, I know… WTF?) Anyway, I am here.
But being here has gotten me to really think of where I am in my life and what I want. I suspect that even if the gig was in Bora Bora I would be feeling the same way. (And what way is that exactly, Lecram?) I guess that would be cautiously optimistic… if the truth be told. (Of what?) Of what I want “forward” to be. OK, it is still a bit hazy but it’s begining to clear and I kinda sorta can make out the outlines up ahead. Sorry, but that is thew best I can do at the moment. Would it be any consolation if I said I actually feel good about this… nebulousness? Neh, I didn’t think so… but I do anyway.
This morning as I sat drinking coffee watching the leaves waft down from the cottonwood I couldn’t help but feel that I could feel change in the air… at least my air… and it made me smile.
So, this is where I am and what I’m feeling. I guess that’s good for now. Oh, BTW… had dinner at this place (on the left) tonight… and it was very good. I’m sure there’ll be more to write about down the line soon. Perhaps even something of a more solid nature. (Are you still holding your breath?)
