strange...
that we'd be on the subject of picking places to live.
In Manistee today, in a new (and really great) coffee shop on River Street, which is more beautiful than I ever noticed (because I used to take so much of Northern Michigan for granted), I saw this off-beat hipster/hippie couple. And I looked at them for a moment as we stood in line deciding our orders and suddenly I had this feeling that I wanted that to be me one day. And I thought it strange, because I always knew (thought I knew) that I wanted to live and have a family in Austin. But there I was, and here I am, more and more frequently wanting to be up here and settled.
Isn't that REALLY WEIRD?
I used to HATE having to stay up here. But now, I'm veering toward working at the Academy, going to grad school for high school counseloring, and living in Northern Michigan.
