So you pretty much already live in a forest, that would be so awesome.
Mmm...not so much. I'm slower and fatter than all of the carnivores in the neighborhood. :?

It was boring, depressing, and completely over run by the football, basketball and baseball bullies from two high schools that town is known for, one of which was my misfortune to have to go to. I won't say wihch one. but the boredom alond litteraly drove me to substance abuse. When we first moved to New Lenox, I was still in high school with two more years to go. My father had just retired, so we were on a fixed income. To make matters worse, we moved into a house that was a little beyond their means, so we lived hand to mouth for about 6 years. After high school, it was college. Inflation ate into my dad's pension and my mom's paycheck as a teacher at a Catholic school, and live was boring at best. The only jobs available to me were bare minimum wage dead end part timers, IF I WAS LUCKY. Finaly, about 9 months after I graduated college, I found a job in my field, saved up my money, and got the H out of New Lenox.

To this very day, I don't even like to visit New Lenox, Ill. I have two brothers and a sister who still live there, and my nieces and nephew still lives in that surounding area. I visit there o Christmas Day and on Easter. and ocassionaly for a family gathering, but I trualy HATE that town with a passion. Those were the worst years fo my life.

So I know a thing or two about being stuck in a crappy, boring town where high school sports were the only activity anyone was interested in persuing.

I'm glad there's someone who understands.

Did you ever watch the TV series 'Twin Peaks'?

The town I ran away from that one look like Paris.

I've heard of the show but I'm not familiar with it. It's doubtful anyone in their right mind, would ever make a tv series about New Lenox, Illinois. The boredom in that town alone, is enough to drive some one to substance abuse.

I know what you mean. I was so happy to leave that boredom fest, where everything was about high school football, high school basketball and high school baseball, in exactly that order. We had one of those suburbanite "modernistic' houses with the attached garage, in a subdivision with no sidewalks, and a little "park" where people could go. It was just a field with a couple of baseball diamonds and a football field. No trees, no swings for the kids, not even a water fountain. From a photographer's stand point, one of the most astheticly devoid places on the planet, of not the most.

No, I don't even like to visit New Lenox, Ill.

Mike
