A City

When you live in a small town, yes Eugene/Springfield is a small town, big cities can be overwhelming and yet very exciting.

We’re sitting here in downtown Washington DC where the tallest building is not a retirement home or the Hilton Hotel.

I live in the country and love it. But there is something about a big city that excites me. Sure, there’s tons of traffic and lots of people, but it’s refreshing to see vibrancy and movement.

There are big cities that I think are ugly. I won’t list them but I could. DC has its ugly side and it can be a bit depressing because of the poverty and dirty areas of town.

But when you get downtown, where the monuments rise high above the landscape the new buildings sit next to historic buildings it’s wonderful.

I think Kathy and I could actually end up in a big city.
