Yeah, OK, so he's a little cute...so what's all the fuss?
..............................
So our time in the Midwest is almost over and our brief period here has been eventful. I mean, the other night we experienced a thrilling thunderstorm complete with tornado warnings. That was totally awesome and fair trade I think for having missed an earthquake back home. I was so looking forward to an earthquake too, it's been years since I've experienced one. Anyway with the storm and all I feel that my time here has not been a complete waste. Well, there's the baby of course, but that's a daily miracle.
To my chagrin, I find that I've fallen back into the habit of driving infuriatingly slow without too much pain. It's bizarre, the other day someone actually honked at me and I found to my embarrassment that I was actually driving 5 miles BELOW the speed limit. It's time to head back to Cali.
I'll tell you what I'll miss though. I'll miss all the glorious green. I'd forgotten how green it always is here. Everything is so lush and people have real gardens...and there's all that real humidity and all those real bugs of every size color, description and varying degrees of pain causing bites...so what was I talking about...oh yeah, how much I'll miss this place, right?
