When I was a senior at Calabasas High my parents moved to a different town.  I didn’t wanna move so I lived with my best friend.  Her parents had a small condo yet didn’t bat an eye before saying yes to me moving in for a year.  Her brother, sister and I made the space work and had a fun year together.


Fast forward 39 years.  My Sagey and I visited University of Wisconsin, Madison last weekend.  Said Calabasas High bestie is now a law professor at Madison - has been for a few decades.  She also went there as an undergrad.  


Kimmie and her Chickens 🐣🐣🐣🐣 showed us around campus, treated to lunch (and shots!) at a fun local bar at which her son works, checked out a basketball game, had ice cream, walked around the lake and answered our every question.  


You know how you can go years and see someone and it’s as if you saw them yesterday?  Yup.  


Celebrate those friends, appreciate them and be grateful for them.   


Some observations from Sagey about β€œpeople in Wisconsin”:  


  • soooo nice

  • down to earth

  • wholesome

  • great listeners

  • smart

  • helpful

  • fun

  • laid back

  • chatty

  • don’t care much about material things

  • don’t care much about labels

  • don’t care much about fancy cars

  • great accents

  • soooo nice (bears repeating)


This of course made my heart sing… born and raised - till age 12 - in Lake Bluff, Illinois.


Law of Attraction βœ¨πŸŒŸπŸ’« is always at work and you’re going to attract that which you put out there.  That said, I do think the people in the midwest are soooo nice.
