We headed out from Chicago pretty early, even though we spent a few hours after the show having drinks and fun with my old friends, heading to Northfield, Minnesota. Cory MacDonald, from the Choroideremia Research Foundation, had put us in contact with Beth Foss, who is the current VP of the CRF, and is a carrier of CHM. She has two sons who are also affected by CHM. She told us that her father also suffers from CHM and she wanted us to be able to sit down with him and talk, but it would have to be tomorrow morning, you know early birds and all.
We made pretty good time on the road, for a 7 hour drive, making it to Northfield around 6pm. We decided to check into a hotel for the night, since it was Tod’s birthday today, and I took him out to dinner.
It was a very unusual thing, to celebrate his birthday with him, because neither of us have been with each other for our birthdays in a very long time, and it was just the two of us celebrating, the crew was running behind us a bit, catching some footage on the road.
It was nice to just be the two of us, and we walked around this two-college town. Northfield is a pretty cool place, a mix of college town and suburbia. I could see myself living in a town like this.
