Life is good
In Duluth at the moment. This is such a great town. There was a blues festival this weekend, and then a 2 1/2 day work-related seminar, and it's a good one, too!
It was a bit amusing yesterday. We had people from the surrounding states sitting at the table, and we started talking about our trips here. One person said she lasted about an hour on the drive up from Minneapolis before her back started itching between her shoulder blades. The Minnesotans were puzzled, but everyone from west nodded in agreement. We all understood exactly; there are so many trees surrounding the interstate that it's impossible to see where you're going, even. And yeah, it took about an hour before it started to feel oppressive. It was a huge relief to get to Duluth and have some horizon visible over Lake Superior. Funny how much a person's environment becomes part of them without their even noticing.
