#2 Retirement

#2
At the close of May I had my last day of work with Dyson. And....so it begins.
After producing a cd with Andy in Houston and saying farewell to the friends down there I left the city on a wednesday afternoon and drove 18 straight hours through the night to my first destination; Chicago. In Chicago I got to spend quality time with Pete, Mike and the Gotfredson family, Pete's "friend" Rebecca and her friends :) I managed to get my visa from the Indian consulate while I was there as well; a little productivity made me feel better about the lazy days and bar filled evenings. We also got to see a little bit of the blues fest in Chicago; pretty cool.
I meandered my way home for the next 4 days stopping in different cities to see friends along the way. Age and I barbequed up a gourmet meal. Mike, Bracken and I had deep talks as we polished off a drink at the Firehouse, followed by my full day with toaster doing everything and anything; come on his name is toaster. Then a night in East Lansing with Adam Houdini; aka Borat and Carrie with special guest appearance by Cole-man-do himself.
I finally made it home on Thursday after stopping to see the way to kind to me relatives, Jim (thanks for the storage), Amy (thanks for the haircut) and Lish (thanks for the sandwich). Walking in to loving arms I said my hello's and headed to dinner with Mr. Hess; aka The Footer, and off to the bars to see my high school teachers; aka my friends too. This was also the beginning of the Dan/Mags wedding weekend.
