Chapter 3: Still Feelin' the Love--Another Nine Days

Tue-19: Continued flogging Princeton; stopped en route to Washington and loaded up on Delaware postcards. (It's the First State! And the Diamond State! And the Corporation-Friendly-Tax-Laws State!)

Wed-20: Was treated to an exclusive lowdown on SAIS thanks to a chatty (and eye-opening) professor; randomly caught free showings of Run Lola Run and The Fellowship of the Ring. (Hey, I've been movie-free for weeks now.)

Thu-21: Invited to stay at a co-op; went with hosts to Art-O-Matic, an undergroundish free visual/performing arts show at an abandoned EPA building. For reasons not worth explaining here, the term "crotch camera" is permanently burned into my consciousness.

Fri-22: Took in an exhibition at the National Gallery of trompe l'oeil art through the centuries and an exhibition at the Hirshhorn of Italian arte povera in the 1970s.

Sat-23: Drove along the Rappahannock River (So. Very. Beautiful.), went to the Poe Museum in Richmond, had my first Cracker Barrel Experience, and co-karaoke'd "Sweet Caroline" to a rapt audience.

Sun-24: Stayed with long-lost cousins at Duke, with whom I watched The Sopranos and talked family.

Mon-25: Bought pumpkin butter (mmmm) at NC farmer's market; arrived in Nashville after only nine hours of travel.

Tue-26: Saw friend's recently-purchased house; arrived in Tulsa after only 11 hours of travel and still managed to hold own in political debate.

Wed-27: Welcomed warmly to Dallas. So begins the Texas leg.
peachy as always, Mike at 3:54 AM
