"I think what I like most about it is people here have what I con- sider to be their priorities in order. They're polite, they seem concerned about their families, they're concerned about their friends. They have a sense of belonging here. `.`To me, your home should be with people whom you live amongst and I'm happy to live amongst these people and • hat's what I like most about it. The rest of the things that it has to offer, restaurants, music . . . I like the fact that it's a musical town, obvious- ly, with my background. I like living in a well-kept secret. I'm really happy here." The never-married Albom said he has a nice social life in Detroit, but regrets having the time to date. He said he does hope to marry some day. Albom said he's happy with his job at the Free Press, and said he hopes he can stay there a long time. "I have such good feelings about the place and such good feelings about the people that I work for that I try harder to do a good job." And what are the consequences for him if the Joint Operating Agreement with Detroit News becomes a fait accompli or fails? If it fails, he's out of a job. But, he's hopeful that it will be approv- ed. In fact, the JOA may even help the Free Press. "People don't realize that if this JOA goes through the Free Press will be the dominant paper in this market. We'll be the mor- ning paper. And all the demographics show that mor- ning papers are the wave of the present and the future." And what if by some quirk of fate he couldn't be a sport- swriter anymore? "I've thought about that. In my heart of hearts I'd probably still love music more than anything. But, I think I learned that it's not always the best move to make the ob- ject of your heart the object of your profession. "If I couldn't write at all, God. I'd probably wind up as some lounge player in some little jazz cafe in Tahiti or someplace. At least I could live in a nice place. I actually saw one on Maui, a little jazz club. It was a but really. It was big hut. It was up on stilts, had a thatched roof. They had a little jazz combo there playing, way in the cor- ner of Maui. I said, 'You know, I could be happy here. Maybe if they have an opening, if they (Detroit) don't have a JOA' . . .
