Sorry to have disappeared for so long. I am alive, and have been exploring Philadelphia... when it's not too hot. Just now, I was about to say something like, "Philadelphia, my new home," or something like that, but even as I work on settling in here, there's some sort of reticence, like, I don't want people to get too used to me being here. I'm not quite sure what that's all about. I mean, sure, I love Chicago, and the Midwest, in general. I miss the area, and the people as well. But, I am moving out here. I found a place to live (in a co-op!), a job (barista), and I've already made some new friends.
So, why the hesitancy? I guess it's simple, really. I do miss Chicago, and all my friends there. While I like Philadelphia, I love Chicago. Granted, I could grow to love Philly. Hopefully I will. Only time will tell.
Anyhow, today I'm catching a rideshare back to Chicago, and I'll be visiting Milwaukee, maybe Madison as well--it's been far too long since I've been to Madison. And if I can't find a rideshare back to Philly, I may be renting a car, or something, that can get me and Fred and the rest of my stuff back here.
I started another blog, with the intention of posting whatever was on my mind, but I think I made it too private, and am currently debating whether I should just delete it, or what. I do think that future blogs will be linked to this one, so, check back periodically.
Peace!

Hrm. Why? Did you find something there that you were missing?
Did you find something in the midwest from which you needed distance?
I was just ready for a change in scenery. Having spent most of my life in the Midwest, I wanted to explore a different part of the country.
Hey, if you're in Madison between now and the 25th you should look me up.
