en route
NYC in the rear-view mirror is still there. We're in Oberlin, Ohio, right now. We actually escaped the gravitational pull of New York, despite some difficulty. More details to come.
Also rediscovered some letters I sent ten years or so ago, about my early days in the city. I'll post a few of them shortly...

OBERLIIIIINNNNN!!!!
douglas, lisa, sit in the feve and DON'T MOVE; i'll be there to meet you in 5 minutes. order me some tater tots, well done, and a vegan chai.
You guys need to contact Heather and Aisha. They're also heading Westward but they're in Tennesse right now. I know that it's far away from Oberlin but perhaps somewhere your parallel paths might intersect.
Let me know if you need their cell numbers.
Looks like we're crossing paths headed in opposite directions! :p
