I have not had a chance to write in a few days. Memory lane has kept me well occupied. I enjoyed a wonderful weekend with my parents in Cincinnati. Their new house is very close to my old high school, which allowed me the opportunity to swing by and see my favorite person in high school academia, my old journalism teacher Mr. Hume.
I also had the chance to make the rounds to all the great Ohio eateries that cannot be found in NYC. Skyline Chili. Montgomery Inn (ribs). Panera Bread (I know there is allegedly one in Queens, but I looked for it once and have concluded it is just a myth). Donatos is still on the list. I may check that one off later today, as I am now in Columbus staying with my good friends Lee and Lea Delaveris.
On Thursday, Dustinpalooza officially kicks off. By midnight on that day, a group of my close friends I have known since high school will have assembled here at Lee's, gearing up for the start of our Ohio Bachelor road trip Friday morning. The plan is to make our way to Cleveland for a Cavs game Friday night. Merriment will be had.
I find myself thinking a lot about Gretchen and my dog, and I miss them. But the nostalgia of good old 'Ohia' has been a much needed experience as I sense the new era of my life just around the bend.

I am sitting in my hotel room gazing out my window. Outside there is a lush tropical garden that is soaking up the Ecuatorian sun. There is a lot of fog here in Quito, rolling from the mountains and down through the city like a drawn out cloud.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me and how great of a time I had with you the past week. I wish my time wasn't so limited but it was still very enjoyable. I am so proud to be your brother and I am also proud that you'll be getting married soon to such a wonderful woman like Gretchen.
I love you Brother and I miss you lots.
