crooned Janis Joplin. But is it? In my mind, freedom is a word for everything that’s possible to gain. It’s July now, halfway through the summer season, at least in northern climes like Colorado, where I live, and Michigan, home of our readers. You can look at that as a cup half empty (as I’ve done in the past) or a cup half full. Yes, some of summer’s wonders are gone: the electric green of infant leaves bursting on the limbs of trees; newborn creatures, like the fawn my husband saw on a mountain bike ride in the woods. But other things are new: the monsoon, here in Colorado, which lessens our extreme wildfi re danger; and my nine-year-old daughter’s friends’ relaxation into a schedule without school. In this issue, we also highlight the freedom (and success) of a Michigan man simply being himself and being kind. In January of 2020, Buchanan resident Freddie Lynn Miller appeared via satellite on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Kimmel interviewed him again, in January of 2021, and just last May, Kimmel fl ew him to Hollywood to talk with him once again, this time live. The subject of Miller’s appearance? A job listing that Kimmel had seen and suggested Miller for. On the show, Kimmel did a three-way interview with the owners of Emjay cannabis company and Miller. From 1,000 applicants, Miller got the job. I haven’t spoken to Kimmel myself, but when I asked Miller why the late-night host likes him so much, he said, “I think he just generally has fun with me.” If you talk with Miller, you’ll see why. He’s one of the sweetest, kindest, most down-to-earth people you will ever meet. Yes, he’s your stereotypical stoner (that’s part of his charm). But what has gotten him this far, I believe, is his willingness to bare his soul to the world. May Miller’s star keep rising. And may we all fi nd the greatest freedom there is—to be wholly and truly exactly who we are.
