It sounds fabulous. Congratulations! Elise, my Subaru, is still going strong at 120K (of course), though I am eagerly awaiting the day when light pickups (like the 2.2L Toyota HiLux I've seen throughout south america) make their way stateside. It'll be a long wait. I'll pick your brain about this (and other) experiences in the future. Also, the new site design looks fantastic! I'll be pulling syndication via RSS to my livejournal friends page, my RSS aggregator of choice (and default) lately. I never thought I’d see the day when you were in a ROAT.

Remember when we drove your Subaru down to the docks to pick up my Subaru in an Alaskan shipping container? I still remember dancing to "But I Feel Good" on loop for a long time in from of some kind of state office buildding. Great day. Plus, you really started me on the geek part of my journey -- to think that you gave me my first in-car inverter. How did I multi-task before that? Hope all's great with you and you're shooting a lot of photos. I considered a Hilux, by the way, but importation seemed a hassle. The ROAT is actually great so far. Great to hear from you, KK.

Good Chinese food. I remember that. But do you think LA's tastiest can hold up to the East Coast Schezhuan deliciousness I grew up with? Either way, we'll have a great time dining on the cusp of adulthood. MMMMMm. Good Chinese food. I remember that.

Seriously, I can't wait for the book to arrive in my PO Box. What is it about NY suburb types, moving out west and riding their Subarus into the sunset? I'm guilty too. The BEST chinese I have found outside of NY is in a tiny place in (of all places) Jackson, WY. No kidding, it's called Chinatown. If you are ever up there, go. Honest. Take care and good luck.
