In 25 minutes I will be on my way to South Haven, Michigan for a day or so. Jena's family has a place there and I am going to go hang out with her. She has been spending the summer at school in Ohio but decided to come this weekend for her birthday. It was great timing since I have just returned from Britainia. Her birthday was yesterday but we went out on Friday night since she turned 21 at midnight. This was the first time she would really be drinking. It was a somewhat odd experience for me since she had always been the person during college who "still didn't drink" with me. I wasn't uncofortable, but deep down it made me wonder what happened to all of us? I guess when high school ended a lot of us didn't drink because we were scared to or because we didn't really have access when I thought we weren't drinking because that was the right thing to do. Jena was definitely the one who followed most closely to that belief and I do understand why she is drinking now, but it still makes me yearn for my innocence. While I was in London I saw a comedian named Daniel Kitson whose act was incredibly raunchy. Still, his big theme was about preserving your innocence. I don't know if this is naive or brilliant, but it still sounds like a very appealing option.

Well that certainly turned introspective. See ya monday afternoon.
