1. Madison is my home. It's where I come from and where I come back to. It's where I want to work and play, and cook and love and make and talk and dance and perform.
2. But it's not where I dream. Every corner of this city is six layers deep in memory for me, all this comfy cotton batting of the past to climb though before I can see anything new.
3. So, every so often, I need to leave, so I can dream new things, and shine up my eyes. Then I need to come back and make those dreams real.
4. This is very much fun for me!
