muddy

i ended up in wisconson by accident today. if you're ever driving home from minneapolis/st. paul, take interstate 94 WEST not east. how did i not notice? i kept wondering, where is st. cloud?

it's been a day of driving and turning around and driving more. i love to drive. i'm a driver.

two things i noticed this week. first, i need to not only buy a map, but also look at it from time to time. second, social graces are important and lack of them makes me uncomfortable.

so i left a day early.

i noticed more than two things this week. the air smelled like wood and when i was in wisconson i passed a lake that smelled so much like a lake that it was worth the detour. i noticed that i love to drive alone. this i knew but it has been awhile since i've been more than an hour from the city. i was glad i could not afford to fly and made a mental note that if i ever can afford to fly that i should drive anyway. i noticed that good people are good and that socially inept people make it very difficult to know them.

morning will come quick and the day will be busy. so i will sleep. and dream of conversations that flow with ease and the mississippi river.

Yes. I know what you mean about socially inept people.

I'm glad to hear you're back safe and sound. I've missed you, but it seems I'm always missing you.

Glad you're back!
