Driving Miss Daisy but asking for a Porsche

Revelation tonight.  I must tell you that I was a kindergartener in Acton, MA.  Irrelevant fact right? I did 1 to 12 in Ohio.  Great.  All my friends are in Ohio.  They are the only people I've known.   I found myself reading a sundays copy of todays Boston Herald on a whim tonight.  I got to the sports section and found myself reviewing the names of some high school students and their schools in atheletics.  Nothing too odd, but whats the interest.  I did not realize until I felt the comraderie among every name that I noted that I was indeed 'one of them'.  Perhaps this explains the consternation that I had felt for years as I went through my local schooling in Ohio. I was not in the kindergarten class.  That is a huge discovery.  To be from a different states kindergarten class is like dancing in the party room with an oboe in your hand.  You are going to make friends, but you still look a little funny.  Really.  I just discovered this and I decided I will be subscribing to the Boston Globe.  There is too much comraderie that I have missed in my life.  Just seeing the names of others in the school systems made me feel that I indeed belonged totally in another experience.  Not to discount the honorable and diligent students who I had always felt blessed to know in my schooling.  They are among my favorite people.  But wake up today, I am a guy from Massachussets.  At my innermost chamber of peace that is where I was a 5 year old.  I will always be that states son.  No matter what you may say and no matter what I will ever experience anywhere else.  I do believe that I belong there in spirit, face and form.  I do think that tomorrow will be a great day as someday in the future, I most certainly plan to spend more days in that state.   I must say that I have 2 experiences that I will relate that do indeed dignify my above comments with a feeling that I knew I had but never fully understood.  I once was in a Boston hotel.  I saw some passerbys in the lounge. I instantly felt their friendship, even though they did not konw my name, family or occupation.  I felt that they were my friends of the truest sort.  And I must relate to you that one of my closest friends I have been blessed with once made mention that I might feel at home in Massachussetts.   I never fully understood it and it did occur to me that it may have been because I was liberal minded.  Not to say that doesn't make it for a more fitting relationship for sure.  But perhaps he too felt that I was dancing with the oboe in my hand for the years he had konwn my soul.  I am fully now going to pursue some interests in Massachussetts. I can not say that I plan to relocate to that location, but that said, I am true to that state.    Thanks.
