I probably should have made this post quite a while ago, but I've been absurdly busy trying to move out of my apartment, etc. Anyway, I didn't get to see everyone off as well as I had hoped, and I realize that I may never see some of you again (or at least for quite a while). Ya'll should know that I'm completely humbled and grateful for having had the pleasure of spending a year+ with you and getting to know so many of you. Very rare was there a sincere moment when I felt a lack of friendship and support from the people around me, even when I wasn't looking for it. Anyway, I'll try not to ramble on too much, but suffice it to say that I would do anything in my power to help any one of you, and I'd be honored (feel it, feel the love) to keep in touch with any one of you.

So it's about 1:15 am (Jan. 29) here in Bankok, while it's 10:15 am (Jan. 28) over where you probably are. On the day of March 23rd, I'll be leaving Tokyo in the later afternoon and showing up in SF around 10 am on the same day. During the recent fire at my apartment, whilst smoking a hookah, I realized that it was the second time that Rob Schwerdt and I shared a "final" get together with our friends and classmates (we went to high school together). Time is strange. Here's to a brief reflection on the last stretch of road, and then the next step.
