Returning to the Motherland

Or is it the fatherland? Russia is always the Motherland, Germany is always the Fatherland. Who determines these country-gender issues anyway? And which gender is the US? Maybe we just don't go in for this kind of pinko commie stuff. Anyway, I am finally about to leave for a full week of fruited plains, amber waves, shining seas, etc. as I visit the East Coast on my big college tour! My flight leaves in approximately 12 hours and 22 minutes, and I still haven't really packed. We'll see how that goes . . .

Actually the main reason I'm posting right now is to catch the attention of Matt Slayton. Hello Matt, are you out there somewhere in the cold depths of cyberspace? I am going to be in Princeton on Wednesday (October 19th) afternoon, and I need to figure out when /where/if I can meet up with you. PLEASE EMAIL ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO GET THIS WORKED OUT! Thanks!

I am visiting Dylan in Boston (*great rejoicing*) and I am NOT visiting Henrik in Vermont (*great sadness*) because he will actually be in Ohio, but so far no firm plans one way or the other have been established regarding the possible Princeton connection. If it works out, I will be the first TASPer to participate in 2 reunions within a single week! I think I deserve a medal and a generous pension for this.

I guess I need to pack my clothes now . . . I'll bring a camera, and hopefully get some pictures which are worthy of our Photobucket.
