A view of The Butter Room
Just got a call from Tood… In The Butter Room (the real one)
Yesterday I visited my good friend Mike and his wife Nora. Mike was my high school geography teacher, track coach, and training partner when I was a serious runner back in the day. He’s also one of the nicest and most genuine guys I know, an avid music fan and traveler (saw 33 Dead shows between ‘89 and ‘94).
This is the view from Mike and Nora’s beach front house that they’re currently renting. It’s a million dollar beach cottage with a guest house, and just a beautiful work of architecture. However, with a baby due in October, they’ll likely be moving into one of the other properties they own. At a cool $1,000 a month (utilities included), situation right on Lake Michigan, I could get used to this view and the floor to ceiling glass windows. I could also get used to having bonfires on the beach below, and taking runs through the nearby trails where Mike and I did a lot of training in 2001-2003.
I never thought I’d consider moving out of the city, but I now have something to mull over during the next year. This is pretty much my dream house (all glass windows, a screened in back porch that looks into the forest, a gas fireplace, rooftop access for a full grilling and patio setup (with this same view), and a retro-fitted kitchen. It’s only five minutes from the Southshore line into the city.
Seems like death has just been at the forefront of things lately, whether it be the personal death of our family dog or the growing number of celebrity deaths, or the senseless death of one of the nation’s top high school football coaches. Death certainly doesn’t have any mercy.

“Cheap Hotel Room,” On The Road I never knew when I was fifteen and first reading this book what an impact it would have on my outlook on life or how it would lead me to take to the road for thousands upon thousands of miles of driving across this beautiful country. As for this quote and the section of the book it relates to? There’s a lot of truth in it. After you’ve been on the road long enough, home becomes relative, and in a way who you are all becomes relative. Not so much that you’re someone else, but all your interactions occur on this level in which you’re always introducing yourself, always interacting in a way that differs so greatly from how you would interact daily with those that know you and have known you for some time. |
