Flight to Oklahoma and back. I'm flying with a guy I just met. It's warm, even at 4,000 feet. Underneath us, cars and trucks are crawling on the interstate I'm tracking back to Kansas.
"You know," I say to my new friend "I could live in like, a small town, like Benton. Or I could live in like, a big city. But not like, in between" I say
"Yeah.." He says. A pause.
"A big city, like.. Wichita?" he says
"No. Not a big city like Wichita" I say
"A big city like San Francisco, or London" I say
A pause. my friend thinks
The motor monotonously hums through the air
"Wichita IS a big city" my friend says. "It's got the world's biggest IMAX" he says.
I think about it and realize there is no reason that he's not absolutely right.
