Well I'm in Ithaca now, writing Java code in the middle of a nature preserve. Life is quite nice. I have finally rid myself of the post-Oberlin Nihilist Depression monster, cured by a wonderful lady who taught me to contra dance, and that music, farms, and the world are worth believing in.

All you people I knew and loved at Oberlin, remind me you still exist and I'll do the same.
