...want to be that near any highway or city. Up on a lake in Northern Michigan--I don't really care whether it's prairies or mountains, as long as it's not a city....I'm pretty much happy with anything at anytime, so it's hard to say. I guess if I can look back at what I've done since college and been of some use and done something with my life...and not have 15 years pass without ever realizing 15 years had passed...
