I missed you enough for a lifetime.

I haven't felt so comfortable in Michigan as I felt last night in years. Something about being an outsider in my own hometown gelled and for a few hours, I didn't feel like anything more than a transient visitor. It was just pavement under my feet with such conversation and camaraderie as hasn't been possible here in a long time.

It's nice to forget that this place swallows souls by coming back with ours intact.
