I'm back home after two weeks working in St. Louis with a short side trip to Memphis. It's always good to return to Illinois. The more that I travel, the more that I like living right here. I'm always flooded with memories when I touch down at O'Hare airport. I remember when I was attending High School, there was a girl who was known as Miss Lincoln. Why was that? Well, because every guy in town took a shot at her in the balcony. That's an old Johnny Carson joke. He told it much better. I can't imagine leaving Illinois, though. It has everything I need and nothing I don't. When I get old(er), I might want to escape during the winters. Then again, maybe I'll just hibernate.
