strange days

[robjwentworth]

Suprisingly enough to myself as the rest of you, things actually have been going on. First, new laptop. I finally ditched the barbaric one I've had since I first went to college. I can now burn CD's and watch DVD's and store my music. Second, went to Brooklyn Michigan to catch a race...yes not very me but still tons of fun. First I love leaving New England, and this was a great opportunity. Also the race was very good, and Michigan Int'l Speedway had plenty of things going on. Caught skydivers, aerial acrobatics out of an old bi-plane, and racing the old Indy cars. Also toured Willie Emery's dreaded Univ. of Michigan. The school I loved first...well quite frankly because I lived in Michigan as a kid and grew up rooting for the maize and blue. Anyway the school is huge as I expected and really does put Orono to shame. Other than that got to hit some old traveling haunts along the way and stumbled into the dirtiest little town in Ohio. Really people stay away from Lorain OH. It's a western suburb of Cleveland (which you probably should avoid as well).
