I'm going... going...
back... back...
...to Joliet.
I talked to my mother yesterday, something I seldom do, due as much to circumstance as intent. I only called to let her know I'd be home on leave in the near future but it turned into a catch-up conversation. "Catching-up" about the old days, about Joliet, about relatives and the church I grew up in, always comes with bad news. I haven't been home since Christmas 2002.
I just want to go home, take some pictures, eat some Chicago style Deep Dish pizza, in Chicago, reminisce about the days before hip-hop up-and-died with Hamilton Riley, andget drunk have a couple Old Styles with Mo at Wrigley.
I don't want drama. I don't want grief.
Is that too much to ask?
I've got a gut feeling I'll just be reminded of why I left in the first place.
