Winding Down, Gearing Up
So my time in Telluride is coming to a close. I'll be here probably another day, then it's off for another 20hr drive back to the good 'ol, generic, bland, unimaginative, unfulfilling, land that is the Mid-West. I don't know why they call it the "mid-west" anyways. Probably because people who live there want to believe they're part of the west, but the people of the west wouldn't let them call themselves the "west" and so they qualified the name by placing "mid" infront of it. Crafty wasps.
So here's the plan as it stands today. And by today, I mean this moment, because in the moment following this my plan could change entirely. On Wednesday I will leave Telluride and start heading back to Chicago by way of Denver. I'll have to spend some time there to see the family and get my cheeks pinched (and not in a good way). Then it's UP to Beloit for a day or two to help celebrate Fuck and Booze (more appropriately called Funk and Blues), then back to Chicago for another day or two on my way up to Toronto to visit a good friend from school. I'll probably stay there a couple weeks, then back to Chicago for Yom Kippur (non-Jews need not be concerned). Once I've had my fill of Jew-food, if there's time, I'll be jumping back into my car and driving out to Southern California. I'd like to scout out some property and some business ideas before my dad's wedding, for which I will have to be back in Telluride within the first 2 days of October. Should he sell a painting or two, and afford to join the local health club, I may decide to stay and work/workout for a couple weeks until I have enough money saved up to get a flight off this enormous, patriotic rock that is the United States. Amazing, millions of people are trying so desperately to get in here, and yet I'm attempting to get out.
So, that's "The Plan". We'll see what actually works out and what doesn't. However, at the moment I have no attachment, no appointments, no places I need to be by a specified time (with the exception of the wedding) and so my life belongs to no one other than me. In any event, we shall see how it all works out, or doesn't. Hope for the best, plan for the worst, but expect nothing.
