When Noah and I were on the way to the airport to catch our California flight, the ole Subie suddenly died. Unbelievably, we stopped dead next to a week long parking spot and we just rolled it in there and caught a cab to the airport. Upon our return, Graham dropped me off, and I rendezvoused with AAA and got'er fixed right up. A very odd way to end this adventure.

Mikael and I escaped the city in early March and headed out to my folk's place in Ohio. We shot some guns and cross bows, drank beers, ate a lot of cheese, and took a hike in my parents woods.

I helped Graham move out of the Opera House Loft. I found a few old family relics in there, like my grandmothers mirror and this old elephant table that belonged to my parents, when they were in Italy. Nick may move out soon...The end of an era. No more V-States in the OHL. Feb. 2013.<br />

After MassMoca, I took Wendi on a tour across western Mass, down to one of my old college haunts, the Leverett Peace Pagoda. There was about 3 feet of snow and the sky was deep blue. It took me back to some important days. January, 2013.<br /><br />
