a brief update. going out of town. turning 31 years old. tired. thoughts of new york, washington, etc. too too much to articulate. wish me luck on trip, and you guys hold down the fort for me, ok? take care of each other, and the kids. i love you all. (ug, this has the potential to get mushy again very quickly. perhaps i should leave it at that.) i'll be around monday-in meantime, email me so i know you remember me.
