After a long, hot summer (actually, it wasn't so bad, but still... summer's summer) I shall be cashing in some vacation time, hopping in the Focus and taking off across the country. Two countries, to be exact.
My friend Dustyn (college roomie, best man, and veteran of numerous shared hole-in-the-wall apartments in Minneapolis and Milwaukee) and I will be driving to Portland, Maine, where we'll meet up with our friend and (my former, his current) roommate Adam, who chickened out on a road trip and decided to fly. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But there will be much merry-making, and between here and Portland, many delightful side-trips and other such nonsense.
All of which shall be recorded right here, on my blog.
So stay tuned...
Who, What and Why?
- Ian C
- I live in the north, where it's cold and we spend a lot of time indoors, steeping in our own turbulent thought lives. Besides being cold, another thing about "north" is that all of the instruments we can conjure to find what "north" is, all point us in a direction that's *not quite* north. Indeed, our north-pointing compass will ultimately lead us somewhere *south* of north. And, standing at "True North", one realizes that the "directions" they've learned no longer hold their bearing, and the world becomes upside down. These are stories from one man's journey to find True North.
