marquette trip.
DAY 1-part 1
that year, the first time i had seen him since the year before at madison. i said i would hel him at marquette, Mich show. i'd never been to lake superior. i mailed him a card with directions. luckily it is easy to find off the highway. avenue has it's own exit.
it was hot. as usual i had on a sleeveless shirt. i waited for him on the steps to the sidewalk after he called to say he was getting off 1-94. i was full of excitement and, well, just,....
he drove up. got out and we hugged. oh i was thrilled. he had to park in back of the house. told him to go to alley and i would help park his biiig white van. he managed to squeeze it in. between neighbor's garage and ours. and then he came in. i had saved him some sweet corn and had salad stuff. offered him nectarine/blueberry tarts. why didn't he eat my tarts? never said.
he, it felt so strange to have him in the house. first time he held my foot. i showed him some afican bits i had just found at estate sales and some old ceramic jugs he gave me answers on. i did some puting and showed him some stuff. which was on the diningroom floor due to an ELECTRIC issue i found out. i also had my uncle jazz bass in case on the floor. was thinking of ebaying. keith took it out and boy did he look impressive.
sadly the only place for him to sleep at that time was the couch. no A/C and it can be loud. as i found out his bedroom is very very quiet. and we have lots of motorcycles. i puted a bit. he watched teevee with aunt.
