Some highlights of my trip home...
Home-sweet-door since 1982... My brother and I celebrate, Egyptian-style, at Nancy's house.
Then Jason and I stopped by our high school. When I was a student, the theme was: "We hate kids."
There are entire web sites devoted to the weirdness of New Jersey.
Growing up surrounded by crime, poverty, pollution, and a crumbling educational system, I always thought to myself, what this town really needs is a giant tooth statue.
Excessive pollution can actually facilitate natural beauty in certain cases. Or so they would have us believe.
Then the next day Nancy and I went to New York...
This is the only public restroom in all of New York. It's not pretty. I hope the rest of the world treats its tourists better.
Waiting in the subway...
This is the Village. The oppressive imperialist non-bargain books are down the street.
While I was taking this picture of Times Square, a man dressed like the devil rode by on a bike carrying multiple tourists. If it's not one thing, it's another.
We visited our favorite New Yorkers, Gabrielle and Sam.
Here, Gabrielle, Nancy and I lounge about.
There's something you don't see every day.
Men with snakes out for a Sunday night stroll.
And then we went to the beach.
Pt. Pleasant, NJ
At a bar on the beach in New Jersey, they had never seen a New Mexico license before, so they made me fill out a bunch of paperwork before they would give me my pina colada.
Then I played skee-ball...


And I won this spider ring.
My time in Philadelphia...
Fun at Bob and Barbara's. Those ladies could really sing and dance.
DJ J provided a musical interlude when I got home.
Well, this has been just a small portion of all I saw and did in the tri-state area. I wish I could have captured more, especially of my family and friends, but it's 3:14 am on Thursday morning, and I have a train to catch in 3 hours that will take me to a flight (that will take me to several other flights) that will eventually land me in Bangkok, Thailand.
Thanks to everyone here for the action and excitement. I can't possibly keep up this kind of pace. Once I get to Thailand, it's all lounging from here on out.
Jason set up this map to chart my travel plans after he figured out my water filter. Thanks J!
