Here, There, and Pretty much everywhere—
Hello again my BLOGGETTE’S- how are you? Have you missed me? I have kinda missed myself to be real honest. What a whirlwind of a month- you may be wondering; just where all has he been? Let’s see- Sioux Falls, SD; Kenton, OH; Chicago, IL; Fargo, ND; Bismark, ND; and Minneapolis, MN (I count MN because I spent so much time waiting on a NW Airlines connection that it kinda felt like I had a good visit.
I did make a trip back to the homeland (aka OHIO) to see the family, celebrate Mom’s birthday, see the nephews, and of course go to the Hardin County Fair. I must clearly state that I love the fair—but it is the biggest hillbilly fest of the year. I ate carnival junk food, won a cheap prize stuffed animal playing skeeball, watched a truck pull, observed a pie contest (my sister came in First)- go Miriam, and remembered how go it is to visit home- but how glad I was to get back to my reality in Chicago.
Things are looking a little more quiet out here for the next month or so- only a trip to Central Illinois (Peoria, Bloomington, and Quincy) then a week in Scottsdale, AZ and then a week in San Francisco in November—followed by the holidays—ho ho ho ho!
I was really moved by the 5 year anniversary of the 9-11-01 attacks on the USA. It amazes me that it has been 5 years- and as I look back I can’t believe how much I have evolved and grown as a person during those five years. Some things remain a constant- family and friends- I remember how important it was for the parents to make sure I was OK on 9-11; same is true today. On 9-11 one of my bestest friends Laura and I hung ok- had some bbq- and took a leisurely walk at sunset to just escape the media and horror of what all had happened. Today Laura is still one of my pillars of strength and I called her just yesterday as almost every piece of technology I posses was breaking to vent. I am very grateful for family and friends.
I hope that the past 5 years has been good to all of you- and remember to tell those you love how dear they are to you every day.
For those Chicago friends (Dawn, Missy, Meg, Kurtsy) lets get together soon—I miss you all.
And boeing boy- get your butt up here- we need to paint the town red!
Take care..

...Just paint ChiTown red? I was thinking, ummm, rainbow perhaps!!!
Can't wait to visit you, see the new "city pad" & catch up. After my first week back in the air now behind me, I'm excited things are returning to "normal!" (Read ALL about the first week's drama coming soon on my site!)
Have a nice weekend, Mr. Metro Man!! ;)
Da Boester! :)
Of course I missed you! Sounds like you've been having major craziness in your life too.
I'll be calling you this week to get caught up with you. It's been too long since we chatted!
