Back to Downriver
Well, I’m back in Wyandotte/Southgate/Riverview. Officially my address is Southgate, but the next street has a Riverview address and one street in the other direction has a Wyandotte address.
Whatever, it’s all Downriver.
Everyone thinks I’m back here because my neurology rotation at Michigan State ended and I start ophthalmology tomorrow. That’s part of it, but the real reason is because I’m part of the professional media covering the Super Bowl and I need to get to work. I have my USA Today coat and I’m ready to use it. I don’t care too much about interviewing the players or “covering the stories”; I just want to go to some of those special parties. I think my USA Today coat will help me with some of that.
On my way home I listened to the Pistons v. Lakers professional basketball game. 92.1 FM out of Lansing/Charlotte went out shortly before Brighton. I figured I could catch the game on one of Detroit’s local amplitude modulation stations, like 1130 “The Fan” (stupid name), but I couldn’t get it until I was on f**king Northline about two miles from my place. I thought amplitude modulation stations were supposed to carry farther than frequency modulation stations. Anyhoo, I found out the Pistons won. They are 32 games over .500, and they have only played 42 games. Neato.
I switched the station to 1270 AM, because I couldn’t hear the Pistons through the static. Some goof ball was interviewing some other moron about college basketball. The moron said the Big Ten is a deep conference this year, but not as good as the Big East. Maybe, but listen to the teams he said were the top teams in the Big Ten: Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan. What?!!? Where is Michigan State on that list? I’m convinced no one likes MSU besides me. More likely, I’m over sensitive about MSU. So I switched it back to the static to try to hear the Pistons.
I still have a lot of unpacking to do. I’m excited to go to Detroit and see what it looks like. I’m glad to see the Telegraph exit off of I-94 is finally finished. It’s a really cool blue bridge (read that with a sarcastic voice).
Living alone has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantage: I’m by myself. Disadvantage: I’m by myself. One is the loneliest number one is the loneliest number…
I liked staying in East Lansing and Emily, Brooke and Jeni were all gracious hosts. Thank you.
