Welcome

Formerly titled "The Traveling Job Coach" and then "The Traveling Athletic Director," this blog is
for me and my memory because it's not very good.
My memory is not very good. See what I mean?

This blog has also morphed into a place for me to share my thoughts on life and how I see the world.
These thoughts often bubble to the surface during my travels.

I don't concern myself with grammar. This is simply a place for me to record my memories,
thoughts and feelings while I travel.

I started this blog before my trip to Europe July 10-24, 2009. Email me at brosefield@gmail.com
whilst I'm traveling or comment on posts here if you see something that
strikes your fancy.

Yes, I used the words whilst and fancy in the same paragraph.

Maybe. Just Maybe

Maybe there are amazing, genuine, loving, caring and incredible people all over the world. Maybe it's not "out of the ordinary" to meet someone that wants to talk about real things and share a laugh.

I was reminded last night that people are inherently good by Patrick at Bruno's in Chicago, Illinois. Patrick hosted us at his place (opened in 1956) and treated us like we were family. He is another in what I still consider a rare breed, but that I'm encountering more and more during my travels around the globe. Patrick loves people. He has a gift of making people feel at home. Like they are accepted and loved. He has a knack for keeping conversation going. He has opinions and allows others to share theirs. He stands up for what he believes in. Patrick is just plain awesome and an amazing human.

I can't tell you how thankful I am to have met Patrick and spent the time with these guys last night. Oftentimes when I approach a trip, I do my best to find the "perfect" places to go. Bruno's, more than likely, won't show up on any travel site as a must-see destination. However, I can't imagine a trip to Chicago now without a stop by Bruno's.

Patrick, thank you for an amazing evening. Thank you for your hospitality, generosity and kindness. I'll be back without a doubt.
