. . . In the past hour I meandered around the entire Fordham U campus on a whim. I purchased fantastic piece of sinisterly decadent confectionery pastry in Little Italy and wandered back home along the Metro North train tracks, enjoying autumn in full-swing. In a week I'll be in LA and I'm already missing New York. I'll never understand how anyone can live in a city where you NEED a car to get anywhere . . .

I know what you mean about not wanting to finish the book. I'm still reading the Mark Lamb book you sent me, and it's just increasingly amazing. I read a lot of books in this genre but I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it, and to think it's only Volume One. I'm about two-thirds of the way through and put it down a couple days and thought, I've got to write Alison a thank you note, as this is soo much more than I thought it would be. It's too heavy for me to really take it anywhere with me, so it's been my 'stay-and-curl-up' book. I enjoyed Valiant much more than Tithe because I think the style of writing is much tighter and much more consistent. And I say nothing about the content because than i can sleep at night without searching the house for probes.
I don't mind the travels, in fact I love to travel, I just find it nerve-wracking to 1] realize I won't have on-line access till I return and 2] every single second of my life since Oct 15th has been preset in stone and will remain so until Dec 28th [I think, don't quote me]. It's crazy. I can't say when I''ll be around, and it sickens me that I really can't because I really don't know. I'm over-the-moon that Gabriel will be coming with me most of the time, because honestly I feel if these obligations kept me from spending time with my very own circus-freak, I'd be inconsolable.
