Been here in Marion, IA for a few weeks now. Emily's dad drove out the 12 hours to Casper to capture us from the blistery weather. We said our goodbyes to Carla, T.A, and the cat crew and went on our way. Of course the drive through Nebraska was in the 50's and sunny, we already missed the road. All along we have looked forward to arriving in Iowa and watching the big screen t.v and the glowing leaves fall from the ash and maple trees. Gary and Joanie have kept us at least a little busy with some projects around the house, meanwhile Em and I try to figure out what's next. As I write this, and listen to the literary narrator tell the little story, "figuring out what's next" sounds awful romantic, doesn't it? I hear the wonder and unknown in that phrase, gets me all fuzzy inside. It seems stress of the unknown though is sometimes as persistent as the need for more mystery. Feeling really happy to have some projects to work on. Planning to go to Dyersville tommorrow to see some country and check out the field of dreams diamond, and cook chili and watch the undefeated Iowa Hawkeye football team play Michigan state (on the bigscreen). Monday We will drive to Iowa City and Fairfield to look at the Maharishi University of Management (mum.edu), I have been interested in learning TM (Transcendental Meditation) for a few years now, and am excited to see a university that utilizes it as a foundational component to the curriculums.
