so, i'm out in grand rapids michigan right now for work, sadly missing my philadelphia.  so hard to be away from both my home and the place i grew up right now because our dog, lilly, just gave birth to the first puppy of her very first litter.  and it's a boy!!! more to come i'm sure once the rest of the puppies are born and i get some pictures.

but before all of the excitement back home began, i was having a typical work travel day in grand rapids.  i ate some pretty decent food here and tonight i sat in a movie theater with two other people, who were also flying solo.  perhaps others on business trips???  i saw this indie film called fish tank on a whim...turns out its about a girl who's a little lost in life and turns to hip hop dancing to find herself in her chaotic surroundings.  i saw it in this art gallery space in the downtown area call the urban institute for contemporary art, where on my way into the theater i saw some cool art on the walls that were words spelled out in old cassette tape film.

the last night in my bed and breakfast too... leonard at logan where i'm staying in the princess cecille room complete with spa tub and heated floors in the bathroom.  if you ever end up here, i can highly recommend staying her.

in the movie fish tank, there is one song that predominates the film, and that's a version of california dreamin' by bobby womack, so i'll leave you with that.  good night grand rapids, hello philly tomorrow.
