Heading out today. Not fully prepared (turned in Fulbright stuff on Saturday, no time to switch gears), but I like to think these things work themselves out. I had a moment when I really didn't want to go, thinking, man, I'll really miss my favorite vegan cupcakes. I can be ridiculous. However, pleasantly surprised to feel nostalgia for NYC. Well, it'll still be here 3 months from now. And I certainly wouldn't miss a chance to eat my grandma's coconut rice. ;) In case I fall off the face of the earth (maybe I already have?), be well. --AL.
