Be a tourist in your own hometown

Thursday, June 29, 2006



For the past few days, I've had two visitors from Chicago to show around here at home. I've discovered: 1. My friends are awesome. 2. Nebraska is way cool.

I've always liked taking another look at things I've seen a million times before, but I guess trying to impress and entertain Esther and Mo gave me new motivation. As we were exploring the town where I've lived (albeit off and on) for 10 years, I found myself making all kinds of plans to keep happily occupied for the next month. I also spent some time thinking about how often I come up with exciting schemes and fail to execute them. Having only 4 years to spend in Chicago, I was bound to fall short of seeing and experiencing everything I meant to, but it's refreshing to discover that after 22 years in Nebraska, I still haven't exhausted the possibilities; I can still work away at understanding where I've come from and try to apply that understanding to who I am in the present.
