Some of you that know me know I grew up in North East Minneapolis and then moved out to the country when I was 16 and now live in Duluth, MN. To say it was a culture shock moving to Wisconsin, is, well, at the time, I didn't know what it was--all I knew was it was sure different and people were for the most part friendly and kind and so glad we moved for a variety of reasons. In the country I garnered a variety of new skills and an appreciation for both the city and the country.
So, anyway, we were just interviewed by the local tv channel 10 at Cub foods where we were picking up goods before my record setting cross country ski trip to a photography workshop I am giving in PA this weekend if I want to get there --due to the storm that's going to ground me more than likely (but I am optimistic!).
The reporter asked why we were there. I said, "Well, we ran out of toilet paper and I figure that's one thing you don't want to be out of when the storm hits." He said thanks, backed away, and left looking for what I think was a different response from other people in the parking lot.
In that moment I realized I am a city slicker once again.
