Leaving on a jet plane....
I like Hartford. I love Chicago. I really love home. I love travel and people-watching and listening to music all day and reading and airport reunions and taking sneaky cell phone pics of my interesting/hilarious partners in travel. I love that "alone in a crowd" feeling. The world within a world that is O'Hare. Finding that huge, bustling gate on the Hartford-Chicago flight and seeing someone I know. Finding the ridiculously small, out of the way Chicago-Grand Rapids gate and looking around realizing that the people there have something in common with me that I haven't had in common with anyone I've seen since last time I did this. I looked out the window last night at the ever-present yellowish diffusion through the night clouds and realized that the next night, now tonight, I would be seeing dark skies and stars.
That I can drive to the beach tonight.
