Wisconsin
I’m in Madison Wisconsin…yep…in the land of cheese curds and brats. And Bret Farve. This was a story in the local news today.
I’m up here at a dealer training for one of the theatrical lighting line I sale. It’s one of those evil necessities of the job. I flew up Wednesday and am here until Sunday.
I miss my family. I especially miss my wife. It’s funny, I see men up here, slobbering over women, like they were just released from jail, and it’s simply because they are away from the “old’ ball ‘n chain”. And not every woman is all that much of a catch. Here I am sit at 9:28 pm, while my fellow sales people are down stairs, regaling each other with more and more impressive tails of days “touring with the Stones”, trying, all the while, to snuggle close to a member of the opposite sex. It’s mostly harmless flirting, but it’s a reaction I don’t understand. I fell like one of the only adults in a sea of teenagers. Ok, in all fairness, my roomy is up here to, so we are just two old guys…or two guys who don’t need to be children when our families are out of sight.
I network in my own, subdued way, I guess. These people wouldn’t remember me tomorrow anyway. I’m witty in classes, charming at the meals, and I will prove myself at volley ball and bowling Saturday evening. I feel no need to also feel miserable every morning and miss out on the classes that will help me make more money for my family. And, I get to read articles about corn mazes and Brett.
