trick or treat

my friend is very ill, i buy a ticket to go back home.

my eyes weary as i drive, i realize this will be our last time together.

is it harder to say goodbye for the last time
when you know it is the last time,
when the person is still there,
and you do the leaving.

i don't want to write these words

my little niece will be a fairy, we will go trick or treating.

throw me something mister

another delightful Monday full of research and excitement.

above, a map of the distance walk From New Orleans to Hopedale. My route is marked in red. Proposed date is 14 February 2009. The distance is approximately 30 miles on foot and includes a few water crossings (to be determined).
